The tour follows public sidewalks and pathways, but because of Plymouth's historic streets, uneven surfaces, and the incline on Leyden Street, portions of the route may be challenging for some guests with mobility limitations.

Plymouth's story cannot be fully understood through a single point of view. Plymouth Perspectives Guided Tours explores the town through the experiences of the many people who have lived here—from the Wampanoag people, whose homeland long predates 1620, to English settlers, immigrants, civic leaders, and residents who continue to shape the community today. By considering multiple perspectives, visitors gain a richer, more meaningful understanding of Plymouth's past and present.
