| We were a group consisting of 3 adults and 3 children ages 3,7 and 10. The tour guide was great with the kids he kept it upbeat and very interesting. He kept everyone invovled by asking questions. He was very informed and really enjoyed it himself. Would recommend it. |

| the tour that we booked was for the lantern tour but when we got there we really wanted to go on the ghost tour. We explained the error to our guide and we asked if we could switch our ticket for the ghost tour and they had no problem doing that for us. The woman who took us on the tour was great and had a tremendous amount
of knowledge to share with us. She also shared quite a bit of the history of Plymouth
with us. We really had a very nice time with her. |

| Despite the rain, we had a terrific tour. Our guide is a terrific storyteller and historian and made everything interesting. He answered all of our questions. We were a group of teachers just starting a 12 day trip and he made the long plane ride worth it. We would recommend this tour to any family or group who wishes to gain an overview of Plymouth. |

| We had a wonderful guide who even in the rain gave us more than we expected. I am a history teacher and this guy knew his history as well as great local information that I didn't know. I would do it again, even in the rain! We even bought our lanterns to take back to the clasrrom. |

| My mother, sister and I were in Boston to take on the Freedom Trail and other historical sites. I had decided to look into Plymouth to see the Mayflower II and the Plimoth Plantation (both worth seeing). While checking the website for other Plymouth activities I found the Lantern Tours. After spending the day at the other sites this Lantern Tour was a great way to finish out our historic interests as we were able to fill in the gaps with information that we had not obtained throughout the day. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and was very receptive to answer our individual questions. We were very pleased with the Tour and recommend it to all who would like to get a glimpse into the past of this country. |

| The tour was pretty good, but not terrific. Our guide was a little late, and was not in Pilgrim costume, as advertised. She was quite knowledgeable about the Pilgrims and the area. She told us some good stories. I felt that there wasn't a whole lot to see that we couldn't have seen on our own, since the original settlement is pretty much gone, and it's now just a modern town area. I am a History teacher, so I found the tour somewhat interesting for the closer contact with the Pilgrims. I think if you knew very little about the Pilgrims and hadn't visited Plymouth before, or you are a hIstory buff, you might find it interesting. But if you have little interest in History, I wouldn't recommend it. |

| Our guide was very enthusiastic about the history of Plymouth. He was a wealth of information and made the tour a lot of fun. We had a group of high school students who were interested the entire tour, and we hated to see it come to an end. |

| I loved the tour and so did my family. We arrived on Thaksgiving day to attend the Wampanoag Day of Morning and booked this tour to follow up at night time. The weather was not favorable and it poured all night, but the tour guide gave us the option of returning the next morning which was sunny and warmer. And though we missed out on carrying a lantern, we found the day tour to be even better.
Pat, our tour guide, was very fun and detailed with every area she described. Not only did she enlighten us with the common history but made sure that we understood facts that came from the tribal point of view as well as the colonist point of view. She explained to us in details about the Pilgrim's survival and what changed in the natural panorama of the area, from the natural springs that have been there for a few hundred years to the recent (1920) refilling of the swampy area where the national park exist. We got to walk thru areas that if we didn't have this tour we wouldn't have bothered to explore or what significance it had to the history of Plymouth, but also how it varies and impacts the modern population there.
The tour began on time and ended on time and we had the ability to ask a million and one questions and get them all answered in a very fun and detailed manner. I wish there were more tours like these in every state, especially in NYC where I'm from. Walking tours give every visitor a perspective that driving through or staying at a fancy resort or hotel would never do for a tourist.
I totally recommend it and I plan to go back in the late Spring to early summer when I can do another really nice walking tour, mainly the Ghost Tour by the same company, since the interest was sparked by the tour guide and the information Pat gave us on the history of the Wampanoag's resistance.
Besides my interaction with the native people of Plymouth, this tour made it even the more worth it to visit, enjoy and go home and study more about this very important city in our country. It's a must do when visiting!!! |
