What a fun day! Very educational. Stopped many times along the way for pictures. Had plenty of time in Plymouth for shopping and lunch after the Mayflower. Yellow deli is a must for lunch or stop inside to see the murals!
Our driver/guide was so great, very funny and made an extra bathroom stop!
A fun way to see something other than Boston!

I'm kicking myself for not writing down the name of my amazing tour guide/driver! He was wonderful...
I'd been to Boston before so this time really wanted to see things I hadn't seen before. Day trips are great for accomplishing this! As a history geek, seeing Plymouth Rock and the Plymouth Plantation sounded perfect!
Our driver filled our drive with so much information. I loved it! He brought us to Quincy (which I have been mispronouncing my entire life!) and we stopped by John and Abigail Adam's "The Old House". I had just finished reading John Adam's biography so seeing this beautiful location was an absolute thrill!
We made it to Plymouth and the weather was just horrible. Sadly, we caught the tail end of the hurricane Ian. I would have spent more time on the Mayflower II but I was freezing! We had free time to wander the darling town of Plymouth. It was right out of a postcard! Being from the west coast we have NOTHING comparable. It was just so charming!
I saw things I hadn't seen before, met some interesting people and learned so much from my amazing guide/driver. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend using New England Trips!
Educational-packed trip. Very fun!

This trip was awesome! Kristen was an amazing tour guide. We didn't realize it was the last tour of the season so unfortunately we weren't able to go inside the Quincey house and family library because they were making repairs. The museum was very interactive and the kids had a blast. I wouldn't take kids younger than 6 because it might be too much for 1 day. My daughter, age 6, rallied and we were pooped by the end but it was totally worth it. I recommend staying at one of the 5 hotels that does the pickups from. If not, leave extra time for parking and meeting. We got lucky that we found a valet last second to park our car because morning traffic extended our drive time to meet the bus and we almost missed it.

Kristin our tour guide, was, in a word, FANTASTIC. Her knowledge, humour and professionalism made this day one of the best tours we have taken. Please express our thanks for giving us a wonderful day.
History, beautiful fall scenery, fresh sea breezes

A delightful unhurried day of history, beautiful fall scenery, fresh sea breezes led by our knowledgeable and professional driver/guide Kristin. At each stop we felt that we had just enough time to enjoy the sites.
She prepared the bus with a variety of refreshments and went the extra mile on several occasions. At the beginning of the tour her microphone was not working. She called her boss who met her at our first stop to replace it. My portable phone charger stopped working on our way home and she let me use hers to recharge. I asked her questions about a day trip I was planning and she shared lots of helpful information.
My only critique would be that the bus seats could have been more comfortable with armrests for each seat and a little more cushioning, plus, I would have liked to have seatbelts.
