The physical history that people get to see and interact with. The beauty and culture of Plymouth and the residents who take care of it. The residents are wonderfully nice. The best Clam Chowda from Cabby Shack!!!

Thank you so much for your feedback! A walk of Plymouth offers a lot to its visitors, and we do our best to provide it all. I’m thrilled that my tour added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.
