A Pirate’s Life for Me! - I really enjoyed learning the history of such a beautiful quaint town. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great personality as well. It was also fun singing a sea shanty too! I highly recommend!

The information shared... - The information shared was informative to all in our group which ranged from ages 11-65.
We loved the song we were taught and singing it while walking along the tour made us feel that much more connected to the stories that were being told.
It was an awesome experience.
