Overview

If you've always wanted to see Plymouth Rock, this 4 hour tour lets you check it off the bucket list. It can fit snuggly into a Boston city break without using up too much of your time in the city.

We pick up in downtown Boston and travel 50 minutes directly to Plymouth. There we'll do a walking tour around the town, explaining why the Pilgrims landed here and how they settled in to the area.

Go aboard the Mayflower II (seasonal) to see for yourself how awful their journey must have been and stop by the memorial for the legend of the rock.

Quick stop at an impressive monument, built to honor the Pilgrims and then it's back to Boston.

Boston is 50 minutes drive from Plymouth, so you will be in the car a chunk of time on this tour. You will have approximately 2 hours in Plymouth.
