What to expect

Take a journey back in time in Plymouth during this self-guided walking audio tour! During the tour, you will see highlights of Plymouth and learn about the city's intriguing history.

The tour starts with a stroll along the gorgeous waterfront. Here you'll get a crash course in who the Pilgrims really were as well as the Wampanoag who helped them build a society so far away from anyone they knew. Your first major stop is a real treat: a view of the replica of the Mayflower, the ship on which the Pilgrims sailed from England to Massachusetts.

Next, you’ll arrive at Plymouth’s most famous attraction: Plymouth Rock. According to legend, this is the spot where the Pilgrims disembarked to establish the colony of Plymouth. It’s got quite an interesting history behind it, all of which you’ll learn while admiring this timeless historical artifact.

You’ll then continue on to the statue of Chief Massasoit and learn the true story of the alliance between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe, as well the dramatic events which prompted the unusual friendship. You’ll also learn the truth about the first Thanksgiving and what most people get wrong about it.
