Itinerário
Sua jornada começa com a família Killigrew — poderosa, ambiciosa e com uma reputação que borrou a linha entre privatização respeitável e pirataria criminosa. Passaram o século 16 ganhando uma reputação terrível... mas o século 16 construindo uma nova cidade.
Falmouth começa a tomar forma como uma perseguição de marinheiros. Mas com a chegada do Packet Service, Falmouth é subitamente conectada a uma rede global. Notícias, dinheiro e pessoas começam a fluir pelo porto.
No seu auge, Falmouth está prosperando. Os navios preenchem o porto, os marinheiros enchem as ruas, e a cidade está cheia de energia internacional. De pé aqui, olhando para a água, você terá uma sensação de como este lugar era antes importante.
Mas o sucesso não dura. As mesmas forças que construíram Falmouth começam a mudar, e a cidade enfrenta um declínio repentino e dramático. A confiança da cidade começa a desmoronar.
Mesmo que Falmouth decline, grandes eventos ainda acontecem aqui. Pense, canibais, julgamentos criminais, drama.
Falmouth encontra um novo propósito. E assim terminamos nosso tour refletindo sobre uma história de dinamismo, possibilidades e uma esperança para o que o dia seguinte trará.

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.
