About This Tour in Boston

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 what they did to settle in the area. Stop at the rock itself and then give you time to board the Mayflower II to see for yourself how awful their journey must have been. 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. It gives us about 2 hours in Plymouth, so if you'd prefer longer or would like to see more of the area between Boston and Plymouth, check out our full day tour option. If your group is larger than 4, we can customize the tour to accommodate at additional cost.
