Plimoth Patuxet Admission with Mayflower II & Plimoth Grist Mill

Myra_M, Nov 2025

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...

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

Going to see the “rock”

There is much more to this tour than can be described. The drive through the coastal towns, the 11th oldest lighthouse and Nantusket beach were all pleasant surprises. So much history about the “rock”. It was great to see and I was not disappointed. Would have loved to tour the Mayflower II but it was getting inspected. Got a picture as it had just gotten into port as we left. Chris was a great tour guide and driver.
