Commercial Street
Our tour begins at MacMillan Pier, next to the parking lot. You’ll see a wooden boardwalk leading onto the pier. To get started, stand so you’re facing directly away from the pier. You’ll see a grey wooden house on the other side of the street. Begin crossing towards it. *
In service from 1875 until 2009, the Pharmacy was the oldest business operating in the same Provincetown location. With twirling stools and a soda fountain, this joint didn’t just dole out prescriptions -- it was also a popular hangout spot. Allegedly, the pharmacy’s most famous customer was playwright Tenneesee Williams. If you’ve heard of “A Streetcar Named Desire”, you’re heard of Tenneesee Williams.

The audio walking tour was perfect for us because we prefer walking at our own pace, not being on a tour bus. The app we had to download tracked our location as we listened, so we knew which part of the tour it was talking about. Very cool. We may do this again in a different town/city.

The self guided audio tour through Provincetown, MA was very convenient. We could stop and continue, rewind, whenever we wanted. We also like walking vs touring while on a bus.

This tour had lots of insights on the towns history and culture. Took us to all the key spots as well as the lesser known ones. It was a really enjoyable experience.

We loved this walking tour of Provincetown MA! The audio starts and stops automatically when you reach the next stop on the tour. This means you are free to shop and stop for lunch on your way. We learned so much about the area and the history of the houses we were passing. Would definetely purchase another one of these tours if they are available where we travel.
