Great Day Trip! - Our tour guide, David was exceptional. He was very good driving our bus as well as providing commentary throughout our trip. We saw everything mentioned, even though we had a somewhat rainy and blustery day! Great Day trip. The only experience I wish that could have been added was actually going inside the John Adams Quincy Home and Library. We were an hour too early so just walked the grounds.

A very enjoyable day! - We relearned so much history of America on this tour! David was a knowledgeable tour guide who clearly loves our country. He had snacks and water for us and gave ample time to see our stops.

LOTS OF TOURING - The excellent tour guide, Dave, was so well informed and made the trip a pleasure for us. It wasn’t until we got home, that we realized we'd missed having the opportunity to tour the INTERIOR of at least one of those historical homes, not just driving by and talking about who lived there. Perhaps adding an interior tour of the John Q. Adam's home? Perhaps allocating less time to exteriors, and adding an INTERIOR. I do understand that some of the houses were not open at the times we were there. Also consider giving tour guests a simple map of Plymouth streets w key locations on our lunch break. We weren't sure where to return to shop and eat. But the tour showed us our history. Thank you.
