Visit the landmarks that honor this piece of American history, from Plymouth Rock to Mayflower II to Burial Hill. Or just enjoy the sandy beaches and calm sea breeze.

We loved our visit, the wine, the sauces & the staff. Laura the manager was so helpful and great to talk with. We went back the next day and had Tess & Mike who were also great. We loved the wine & for $20 we tried 13 wines, comes with a small cheese, cracker plate, sample of a a tasty piece of chocolate and jams & sauces they sell. I bought the springbok sauce. The first day we sat on the porch and 2nd day was a group of 6 of us inside. This is great for couples, groups and some kids were there too.

Perfect day trip from Boston! Our Boston driver, Kevin, was wonderful and pointed out places of interest as we made our way through and out of Boston. He made sure everyone knew the drop off and pick up times/locations. I opted for the 3 hour island tour and loved it! The guide, Tom, was fantastic and his love for island showed! I would definitely do it again and I live in Boston.

We had Thanksgiving dinner for the 400th anniversary at the Plantation. Even with covid still around we had no concerns for our safety and I can report none of us became ill from our time touring the sites in Plymouth. Exhibits and demonstrations were fascinating. Hadn't been there in 30 years - was wonderful to go back and see all the changes.

Vicki Harrington is a great story teller and tour guide. Fascinating history lesson of the 1st Pilgrims journey, and the ghost stories were VERY scary.
