Visit Plymouth and Discover It's History

5.00This was our first time to the Cape Cod area. With this year being our 250 anniversary, we knew we had to visit Plymouth. This self-guided tour was amazing. We started at the visitors center and were able to find every item on the list. The GPS guided part was great but the information that the narrator gives is wonderful.
Eye Opening View of Our History

5.00This is not like so many tours. It was wonderful to have a digital map that actually told you where to go, began telling you about what was coming up ahead and then giving the history of what you were seeing. The information about how the "Pilgrims" and native americans came to interact was fascinating. To climb aboard the Mayflower 2 was incredible. To think that 108 passengers made the trip on this small boat in such cramped quarters was eye opening. The entire journey was easy, informative and well worth the time.
Best ever, buy now and enjoy!

5.00Great walking tour! So much information and LOVED the ‘Learn More’ links included at the stops. In fact when we went to other areas on our trip we searched for walking tours by your company. Unfortunately there was not one available so did a different one and it was not nearly as good.
Audio Tour Confusing

3.00The audio tour was somewhat confusing to follow. I’d pause it and it would start as soon as you moved. The voice in my ear made it difficult to communicate with others. Otherwise it provided helpful and interesting information. Although you could read most of the same information at the site.
Learning Plymouth in your own time

5.00Great self guided tour learning about Plymouth and the Pilgrims, and the Mayflower, & much more. Loved that we could take as much time as we wanted and not get rushed along in a big group tour.
Nice walk around town

5.00We enjoy these self guided tours. It’s nice to be able to do side stuff during the tour and then pick right back up where you left off. This was shorter than previous ones we’ve done but was still vey informative and enjoyable.
It’s more than a rock in the mud!!!!

5.00Easy to follow along and good information. Path is easy to follow and the stories as you're walking keep it interesting.

4.00I had major issues with the app not starting when I would get to one of the areas. I had to keep starting it myself when I could figure out which stop I was at. It was alright for the price you pay.
Self guided tour

3.00The self guided tour was nice to have with information at hand. It went rather quickly and it was hard to follow the map while driving versus walking.
