Day 1
Day 1
America 400
Spend the day in Plymouth, Massachusetts to help celebrate America 400! The Plymouth 400th Anniversary will highlight the cultural contributions and American traditions that began with the interaction of the Wampanoag and English peoples; a story that significantly shaped the building of America.

Today, we will be taking a step back in time and spending the day at the Plimoth Plantation. Plimoth Plantation offers powerful personal encounters with history built on research about the Wampanoag People and the Colonial English community in the 1600s. Today, Plimoth Plantation provides an engaging and experiential outdoor and indoor learning environment. We will start the day with an educational guided tour.

After the guided tour, we will have an unforgettable dining experience. Step back in time and enjoy traditional English and Native foods. Todays meal will consist of: Turkey (sauced two way on the side), Naussamp, Stewed Squash, Cheate Bread with Butter, Carrot Soup, and Mint Tea with Blueberries.

After lunch, you will have free-time to explore the museum, the Mayflower II, and the Grist Mill. The Mayflower II is Plimoth Plantation's full-scale reproduction of the tall ship that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth in 1620. Other great things to check out are: the Craft Center, The Nye Barn, and the 17th Century English Village.

You’ll leave today with great memories, new knowledge, and a special Thank You gift from Tours of Distinction!

Terrible the trip was cancelled twice. However, glad we were not in Ashville due to the place being GONE because of the hurricane.

Sorry to hear about your experience MaryAnn. We are not sure why you never going on a trip has impact on your feedback. We cannot run a trip if there are not enough participants. Hurricane Helene would have made it all but impossible to trip as advertised. Best of luck in your future travels!

We had a great time. Although it was exhausting, we met wonderful people and dined on good meals. The Vatican and coliseum were too much a load in one day, but were a fabulous experience.

By Bill T for Tuscany to Amalfi on Oct 04, 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback Bill! We appreciate hearing about your experience in Rome and is something we can look at altering for future trips.

We had a good time overall, but have a few issues that would prevent us from taking another TofD trip. We asked, early on, for accommodations in our hotel rooms- namely, walk in shower, grab bars and shower seat. There was not one hotel that arranged for all of those and some that gave none. It made for an exhausting trip trying to shower and dress in an unsafe environment. We enjoyed the itinerary and the group but this one situation truly put an overall damper on our trip.

Thank you for sharing your feedback Donna. You clearly outlined that you required a walk-on shower, etc. We understand the importance of such a request. Hotels only have a limited amount of rooms that are ADA compliant and we cannot guarantee that each and every hotel will have enough rooms to accommodate each request. We are glad you enjoyed the trip and your fellow travelers. We hope that we have the opportunity to see you again on a future trip.

Our overall experience was positive. Brian, local tour guide for Nova Scotia, was great: full of historic and current information of the Province. Nice touch that he included personal experiences of the province, We did find the tour schedule jammed packed and we would have preferred more free time. An example of when/where this could have happened was on Prince Edward Island, day 6 of the tour, we spent 2 full hours at a jam/preserve store which was way too long. We hoped local tour guide, Larry, would have been able to intervene. He did not. The sailing ship ride out of Halifax, over two hours, was a poor substitute for the Tatoo performance. This was a party boat with no commentary as to what we were seeing. Those two hours of free time would have been appreciated. Our tours of Distinction guide, Kim, did the best she could as this was her own intrduction to this Nova Scotia/PEI tour. Thankss you. Julie Thomas and Laura Eakin (companion travelers)
