Just got back from the Provincetown West End History Tour!

Wow, what an amazing experience! Cathy is such a passionate guide. The stories about the old homes and lighthouses along Commercial Street were so fascinating. The best part was definitely the views of the harbor. I’d recommend this to anyone who loves history and a bit of walking. If you're in Cape Cod, you gotta do this! Can't wait to tell my friends about it.

Thinking about gifting the West End History Tour for my parents!

Hey everyone, I’m considering this for my folks’ anniversary. They love history and Cape Cod. Do you think they’d enjoy this? I just want to make sure it’s not too long or strenuous since they’re in their 70s. Thanks!
