Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Din rejse begynder med familien Killigrew - magtfulde, ambitiøse og med et ry, der sløjfer grænsen mellem respektabel privatisering og kriminel piratvirksomhed. De brugte 1600-tallet på at tjene et forfærdeligt ry... men 1600-tallet byggede en ny by.
Falmouth begynder at tage form som en skrappe små sømænd forfølgelse. Men med ankomsten af Pakket Service, Falmouth er pludselig forbundet til et globalt netværk. Nyheder, penge, og folk begynder at flyde gennem havnen.
På sin højdepunkt, Falmouth er blomstrende. Skibe fylder havnen, søfolk fylder gaderne, og byen dæmper med international energi. Stående her, med udsigt over vandet, vil du få en fornemmelse af, hvor vigtigt dette sted engang var.
Men succes varer ikke. De samme kræfter, der byggede Falmouth, begynder at skifte, og byen står over for et pludseligt og dramatisk fald. Byens tillid begynder at falde.
Selv når Falmouth falder, spiller store begivenheder stadig ud her. Tænk, kannibaler, straffesager, drama.
Falmouth finder et nyt formål. Og så afslutter vi vores tur med at reflektere over en historie om dynamik, muligheder og et håb for hvad den næste dag bringer.

This was a terrific tour, we learned so much about Falmouth in this 2 hour tour thanks to Will. This was not a “facts and figures” tour but a very entertaining story telling walk. Will entertained us with his accordion, historical poems, and just his good nature way of leading our group
A must do in Falmouth. Great local flavor, highly entertaining and terrific historical insights.
We loved this tour. Will was an awesome guide - very entertaining and engaging. We recommend this tour for anyone visiting Falmouth. For all ages, whether it is a day trip or a longer holiday.
Will is an excellent story teller, excellent walking tour, fabulous music!
Bobby was extremely knowledgeable and also added humor into his stories. He walked at a reasonable pace and stopped to talk to the group to make sure everyone could hear. Great tour!
I took a guided tour with Bob last Sunday. The tour was very informative and entertaining and you could tell that our guide enjoyed the tour a lot. He was very knowledgeable and addressed our questions.
Will was a very entertaining and informative guide who brought the history of Falmouth to life in an engaging way.
Will was an excellent guide. He was articulate, full of passion, humour & loved sharing & bringing the incredible history & personalities alive that put Falmouth on the map. His accompanying accordion playing was a bonus!
Very engaging! Guide was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. Be prepared to walk up steep inclines and stairs.
In short: I recommend the tour. In long: We had Bobby as a guide on a sunny Falmouth tour, he was able to tell us a lot of the history of Falmouth (which is also a personal interest of him), stuff even the locals don't seem to know, show us around, have some recommendations and a laugh with personal anecdotes and stories. It was a genuinely great experience and one of the best tours I've been on (overall). Group size was about 10 people, which was perfect. Trip itself is likely challenging for less mobile people, since Falmouth has some steep roads and stairs. One tip though: do book directly through them and not through another site to save yourself some money.
