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 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.

Thank you for this wonderful 4 star review of our Plymouth Day trip from Boston. I am happy to hear how much that you enjoyed your time with Kristin. These buses are pretty standard with all the necessary requirements including seatbelts. Sometimes they get tucked in between the seats. If you couldn't find the seatbelt you should have asked Kristin and I am sure she would have helped you locate it. I can guarantee you that your bus had seatbelts. Thank you for sharing your experience. Kind Regards, Stephen M. Belcastro President New England Trips Inc.

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!

Thank you for this AMAZING 5 star review of our Day trip to Plymouth from Boston. You are 100% correct in saying that Day trips are a great way to see things other than the city. There are so many wonderful things to see and do within close proximity to Boston. Not to mention, all of the history in this area. If you are a self-described "history geek" you certainly chose the right trip to take. I am so happy to hear what a wonderful experience that you had on this trip. I only wish that you were able to experience it on a nicer day. All of us here at New England Trips really appreciate your HIGH RECOMMENDATION! Thanks for sharing your amazing experience. Kind Regards, Stephen M. Belcastro President New England Trips Inc.
