Really enjoyable trip - Multiple stops so plenty of opportunity to get off the bus. Small bus which worked well. Chris had a lot of knowledge and ensured there was lighthearted information being relayed throughout the trip, without feeling like information overload.

More than just Plymouth - This day trip is a must if you want to go to Plymouth! I didn't have to worry about driving in Boston's traffic, and we made stops along the way to see many things I would have missed otherwise. Our driver was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with.

Going to see the “rock” - There is much more to this tour than can be described. The drive through the coastal towns, the 11th oldest lighthouse and Nantusket beach were all pleasant surprises. So much history about the “rock”. It was great to see and I was not disappointed. Would have loved to tour the Mayflower II but it was getting inspected. Got a picture as it had just gotten into port as we left. Chris was a great tour guide and driver.
