We were glad to return after a good 20 years. Lovely place. The tour was well paced, informative and fun. Highly recommended for anyone coming here for the first time (was not our case but we loved it).
Fantastic! thank you so much for your kind review!
Cathy went above and beyond to show us the History of Provincetown and the beauty of the National Seashore. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind review!
What a great time! We kind of lucked out as we were the only people for this specific tour which means we had a private tour for a few hours. Sky was overcast so not much of a sunset (somethings can’t be controlled) but our guide was awesome, lots of local knowledge (past and present) even ran back to the vehicle to get the phone I had inadvertently left behind. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning a bit more about this wonderful area.
Thank you Myra! we're so happy to hear you had a wonderful time and that our guide took the extra time to get your phone! Cathy - Mayflower Trolley and Excursions
