Itinerario
Su viaje comienza con la familia Killigrew, poderosa, ambiciosa y con una reputación que difuminó la línea entre el corsario respetable y la piratería criminal. Pasaron los 1500 ganándose una reputación terrible... pero los 1600 construyendo una nueva ciudad.
Falmouth comienza a tomar forma como un pequeño embrujo de marineros. Pero con la llegada del Servicio de Paquetes, Falmouth se enchufa repentinamente a una red global. Noticias, dinero y gente empieza a fluir por el puerto.
En su apogeo, Falmouth está prosperando. Los barcos abarrotan el puerto, los marineros llenan las calles y la ciudad tararea con energía internacional. De pie aquí, con vistas al agua, tendrá una idea de lo importante que fue este lugar una vez.
Pero el éxito no dura. Las mismas fuerzas que construyeron Falmouth comienzan a cambiar, y la ciudad se enfrenta a una repentina y dramática decadencia. La confianza del pueblo comienza a desmoronarse.
A pesar de que Falmouth declina, grandes eventos todavía juegan aquí. Piensa, caníbales, juicios penales, drama.
Falmouth encuentra un nuevo propósito. Y así terminamos nuestro recorrido reflexionando sobre una historia de dinamismo, posibilidades y una esperanza para lo que nos depare el día siguiente.

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.
