Nice Culture walk
Nice immersion of the culture. Uneven surfaces are not suitable for walkers etc. Having real crops growing was impressive. Construction at the Mill blocks the walking path to the Mayfloeer 3.

I do recommend this
Actors seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic. The facility is very well done and when you combine all three experiences it is still a good day

Our guide was very knowledgeable and congenial. I feel like the time at the stops in Plymouth could have been shorter, but I did enjoy the trip down the coastal highway through the little towns/villages

Strive for authenticity
A realistic depiction of early pilgrim and indigenous life in the 1600’s
The cafe could expand their menu. Not many healthy choices.

Do this tour! You'll love it!
I had a wonderful day enjoying the fall color and the New England towns near Boston, ending with the Plimoth Patuxet living history museum. Our driver/narrator Chris was THE BEST!

The Pilgrim village is great to walk thru - at your own pace. The trail of houses is really something. They have real actors which adds to the experience. The Mayflower II is a must to see .

Is the Mayflower II an exact replica?
It’s pretty close. The Mayflower II is a reconstruction based on what the original may have looked like. It’s about 25 feet (7.5 meters) wide and 106 feet (32 meters) long, with four masts and six sails. Some say the original looked like a wooden bathtub with masts since it was relatively short and fat.
Does the Mayflower II have an engine?
No, the Mayflower II doesn’t have an engine. To get between places today, it has help from a tugboat. Visitors can speak to staff, who are in character and dressed as if they were part of the original voyages. You can ask them how it was sailing aboard a ship with no engine.
