Lots of interesting stops along the route! The guide was very personable, and engaging with the group. As we prepared to leave Plymouth, the Blue Angels unexpectedly flew in, and put on a show…EVERYONE wanted to stay a bit to watch, and Thatch was fully amenable to that, and seemed to enjoy it as well!

Thatch was fantastic! He was engaging the entire time & provided a lot of information. He made the experience light and fun even though it was a very long day.

It was a fantastic day with our tour guide Chris! He shared many interesting facts when stopping at the coastal towns. We especially enjoyed Quincy exploring the homes of our former presidents. In Plymouth we had plenty of time to see the Mayflower, Plymouth Rock, lunch, and shop. It was fun and interesting at the Plimoth Patuxet Museums where people come alive in characters of Pilgrims. I highly recommend this tour!
