Spooky Fun with a little history thrown in
Sat, Oct 28, 06   9:00 PM lreimels Female Under 20 Local Group of Friends
We really enjoyed our "Ghosts and Legends" tour. Originally it was the "Halloween tour" but the weather didn't cooperate so we got the "Ghosts and Legends" tour. Our guide was great and she really got into the stories of ghosts that have been seen around Plymouth through the years and some of their grusome stories. There were times when we were in allieyways and the wind was whistling and gusting that we thought we'd see one of the ghosts any minute!

Learn as Legends Come Alive

Our guide was donned in festive Hallow's Eve garb and we carried authentic, metalic candle lanterns throughout our guided tour of old town Plymouth, MA. Our guide took us to different alleys and grave sites explaining the hauntings experienced at each site - the history alone is worth the walk and it was interesting to find out I have eaten lunch at one of the oldest and most haunted buildings in America!

How to get into the Halloween Spirit
Wed, Oct 25, 06   9:00 PM nausetflash Male 30-39 Local Group of Friends
I've done this tour in the past and always enjoy bringing friends along to experience it for the first time...Imagine walking with candle-lit tin lanterns through a very old burial ground with moonlight casting creepy shadows all around, or walking alongside houses and shops with haunted histories and peeking in their windows! It's always a different experience but without a doubt, a lot of fun and a great October tradition!

OK Tour - but a bit disappointing
Sat, Oct 21, 06   7:30 PM buphus Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took this tour about 10 days prior to Halloween - and on a Saturday night. We booked the tour on-line about two days prior to the tour. We specifically chose this tour company over the others offered because 1) we had taken a tour by this company in the past and had enjoyed it; and 2) they have these wonderful lanterns that each participant gets to carry and we knew our children would enjoy that (they were very excited about it). We arrived about 15 minutes early - but learned that the tour was oversold and so almost no one got to carry a lantern. Only about 3 or 4 participants had lanterns to carry and the rest of us were given fluorescent light sticks. My children were very dissappointed as we had reassured them that everyone would get to carry a lantern -even children. Also, because there were so many people signed up for the tour, they brought in a second guide. They told us we should go with one of the guides if we wanted to go to the cemetery - or with the other guide if we did not. We would have liked to go with the guide going to the cemetery - but so did just about everyone else. And so we ended up going on the tour that did not see the cemetery. Additionally, explaining about the light sticks and the addition of the second tour guide did cause a delay, and so the tour started closer to 8:00 than 7:30. Since the guides had another round of tours at 9:00, I'm pretty sure we got an abbreviated tour. The ghost stories were about right for the children, not too scary - but a little hair-raising. Overall, the experience was fine, but a bit disappointing.

Well worth the time.

We were led on a gently-paced stroll around town for a truely informative tour of the history of Plymouth by a knowledgable guide. We enjoyed the hour and a half, or so, tremendously and would highly recommend it to others. We even bought a gently seasoned, authentic looking Pilgrim lantern that looks beautiful in my autumn table display!

A useful history lesson
Fri, Sep 29, 06   7:30 PM grahamsanham Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We all think we know our history, but it is far more enlightening when placed at the location of an event with an infromative narrative to put things into perspective. This tour was very well presented, and thoroughly enjoyable. It was made better by the ghostly slant to the tales.

we signed up for history tour and ended up getting a combo of history and ghost/legend tour. i liked having both combined and made learning fun. would definitely recommend especially during the fall with halloween just around the corner and darkness coming sooner in the eveing.

Heard some neat stories about the area. Even though ghosts didn't materialize during the tour, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The tour was wonderfully entertaining. The tour guide that we had was a very good speaker and was great at telling the stories. The tour was well worth it and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!

This was my 3rd. tour in 3 years. I took my children over the summer, and a group of friends recently. The different tours guides have different styles, but all were good.

Went the extra mile, literally!

We were a small group just my husband and myself and another couple and because of this, Linda, our guide, took us on a longer tour which included the graveyard to look at the grave stones by lantern light. We returned the next day to get pictures of the detailing on the grave stones, and to commemorate the visit. She spun some great stories which were down-right funny and some quite chilling. She very much enjoys her job and the comraderie she and the other guides have with each other was very nice to see. They like to gather later to swap stories about the tours and ghost sightings. We would highly recommend this to anyone either travelling in a small or large group. We passed a larger group and they looked to be having a great time.

I have lived in the area my whole life and have wanted to take this Lantern Tour for a few years now but wanted to wait until my son was a little older. Our guide was very knowledgable of the area legends and she made the tour very exciting. It was very creepy walking through the old cemetary at night which added to the thrill of maybe catching a ghost on our digital camera. I would recommend this tour to anyone from the area or traveling through on vacation. It was a good time.
