Comments about Smart Destinations Discover Plymouths History - A Walking Tour:

I went on this walking tour with my family (including 3 children, ages 4, 6, and 8). It was a lot of fun. We combined it with the tour of the Jenney Grist Mill. Nancy took our reservation over the phone - she was very friendly and helpful. Leon, the tour guide, was fun and educational. It wasn't too long, which is good when you have smaller children. After the tour, grab an affordable ice cream cone or italian ice near the bottom of the mill.
