  • Barnstable, MA 02630, USA
    We begin our journey into America's distant past at the Cape Cod Visitor Center. Prepare to dive into the Pilgrims, the nation's origins and the long history of the Cape. As we begin our drive through picturesque Massachusetts towns, we'll learn about the Nauset tribe, their legends and traditions, and why they were wary when strange ships appeared on the eastern horizon. Note: This 65+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Cape Cod in 2-3 hours.
    10 minutes
  • Scargo Tower - OPEN AS OF JUNE 2021, Dennis, Massachusetts, United States
    An optional detour takes us past the fish-shaped Scargo Lake. According to Nauset legend, this lake was built by a great chieftain to comfort his daughter, who could not stop weeping over three dead fish. We'll also learn about the Nauset party who first spotted the Mayflower, and the fears they had about its approach.
    10 minutes
  • Harwich, Harwich, Massachusetts, United States
    Another optional detour takes us to Harwich, a quaint Cape town known for its numerous beautiful beaches. If you fancy a swim, this is one of the best places on the Cape for it!
  • Off, Weston Woods Rd, Harwich, MA 02645, USA
    While in Harwich, we'll visit the Cape Cod Lavender Farm, a secluded estate that's just as gorgeous and fragrant as it sounds. Walk any of the woodland trails for free, soak up the smell of lavender, and pick up a few souvenirs!
    10 minutes

    Next, our Harwich detour will take us to Bank Street Beach, the perfect place to relax or dip your toes into the Atlantic.
    10 minutes
  • Eastham, Eastham, Massachusetts, United States
    As we continue our drive, we'll enter Eastham, a perfectly picturesque little Colonial town. We'll also hear about the embattled first encounter between the Pilgrims and the Nauset, the daring assistance offered by Squanto, and the very first Thanksgiving, where the Pilgrims and Nauset celebrated a truce.
    10 minutes
  • First Encounter Beach, Eastham, Massachusetts, United States
    Continuing down the Cape, we'll arrive at First Encounter Beach, where that dramatic skirmish between Nauset and Pilgrims took place. The beach now bears a plaque commemorating the encounter and the eventual truce.
    10 minutes
  • Salt Pond Visitor Center, Eastham, Massachusetts, United States
    A little farther on, we'll arrive at the Salt Pond Visitor Center. This miniature museum is the perfect opportunity to catch up on some extra Cape history, use the bathroom, or just stretch your legs.
    10 minutes
  • Nauset Light, Eastham, Massachusetts, United States
    As we continue our drive up the Cape, we'll spot the Nauset Light, the quaint little lighthouse that features in every quintessential Cape Cod photograph. We'll also learn about its importance, and how the Cape's rough waters earned the nickname of "ocean graveyard" before the lighthouse was built.
    10 minutes
  • Nauset Lighthouse, Eastham, Massachusetts, United States
    As we continue our drive up the Cape, we'll spot the Nauset Light, the quaint little lighthouse that features in every quintessential Cape Cod photograph. We'll also learn about its importance, and how the Cape's rough waters earned the nickname of "ocean graveyard" before the lighthouse was built.
    10 minutes
  • The Three Sisters Lighthouses, Eastham, Massachusetts, United States
    Continuing our drive, we'll come to three squat white lighthouses called the Three Sisters Lighthouses. What's peculiar about these lighthouses is that they're not on the coast at all! They're actually nestled among a thicket of trees pretty far inland. Hear about why that is, and how they came to be there. We'll also learn about how the Cape transformed from Nauset land to Colonial fishing towns, and then from fishing towns to a tourist hotspot.
    10 minutes
  • Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, 291 US-6, South Wellfleet, MA 02663, USA
    Another optional detour takes us to the Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary. With five miles of trails through four different biomes, and more species of birds and other critters than you can count, this stop is bound to delight nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and avid hikers alike.
    10 minutes
  • Marconi Wireless Station, Wellfleet, Massachusetts, United States
    As we continue driving, we'll pass Marconi Station, the first radio station to ever send a wireless message across the Atlantic! The station also played a pivotal role in an infamous oceanic tragedy: the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Learn how a radio station hundreds of miles away saved lives on that fateful day!
    10 minutes
  • Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trl, Wellfleet, MA 02667, USA
    The next optional detour takes us to the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail, a perfect spot for hikers of all experience levels to stretch their legs and take in Cape Cod's varied terrain.

    10 minutes
  • Pilgrim Spring Trail, Truro, Massachusetts, United States
    As we continue driving, we'll pass the Pilgrim Spring Trail, a short hike which leads to one of the first places the Pilgrims came after landing on the Cape. Here, the weary travelers found their first freshwater spring--an essential find in helping them survive. Afterward, we'll continue on toward Provincetown.
    10 minutes
  • MacMillan Pier, Provincetown, MA 02657, USA
    As we drive through P-Town, we'll arrive at Macmillan Pier, where thousands of ships have launched over the years. Here, we get to see how past and present really intermingle on the Cape. These days, the pier is mostly used to launch whale watching expeditions.
    10 minutes
  • 1 High Pole Hill Rd, Provincetown, MA 02657, USA
    Our penultimate stop is the Pilgrim Monument: the tallest all-granite monument in the entire country! Every year since its completion in 1910, thousands of tourists climb the steps of this 250-foot colossus to get a panoramic view of the ocean from the top. It's well worth the trek! Next, we'll hear about the Mayflower Contract, the rough set of laws the Pilgrims set for themselves upon landing in the New World.
    10 minutes
  • Pilgrim's First Landing Park, Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States
    Finally, we'll end up where it all began: the site where the Mayflower first struck land. Explore the park and imagine what it must have been like for the settlers, after ten harrowing weeks at sea, to step onto Nauset soil right here on November 11th, 1620. Our tour officially ends at this historic stop.
    10 minutes
  • Pilgrim Monument & Provincetown Museum, Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States
    On that corner, you’ll notice the beautiful town hall with its striking clock tower right away. I’ll come to that in a minute. If you look farther to the right of the town hall, you’ll see the most striking tower in the entirety of Cape Cod: the Pilgrim Monument.
    10 minutes
  • 250 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA 02657, USA
    In service from 1875 until 2009, the Pharmacy was the oldest business operating in the same Provincetown location. With twirling stools and a soda fountain, this joint didn’t just dole out prescriptions -- it was also a popular hangout spot. Allegedly, the pharmacy’s most famous customer was playwright Tenneesee Williams. If you’ve heard of “A Streetcar Named Desire”, you’re heard of Tenneesee Williams.
    10 minutes
  • 237 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA 02657, USA
    Through this entrance is a collection of fun souvenir shops and local restaurants. If it’s not too crowded and noisy, you should walk through as you listen. It actually leads all the way out to the beach. *
    10 minutes
  • Historic District, 2 Masonic Pl, Provincetown, MA 02657, USA
    This is a historic Freemason lodge! Paul Revere, the mythic American revolutionary, established this local charter of Freemasons in 1795. He was grand master at the time. Now, Revere didn’t use this building back in 1795. The story really begins in 1826, when the town turned against them. Let’s turn back the clock….
    10 minutes
  • Pilgrim's First Landing Park, Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States
    As you can likely guess from its name, this is the location where the Mayflower first touched land after its journey across the Atlantic. Proud descendants of the pilgrims paved the memorial circle in 1917, and P-town residents have found other ways to mark the space since.

It did point out things I would have surely missed . Nice historical fillers in between stops. For some reason the first word was always skipped so that was a bit frustrating when it gave directions . I enjoyed the fact there was also a walking tour for Provincetown included in the price .

Very relaxed way to explore. Met others following the ap and had enjoyable conversations. Worth every penny spent. Full day of entertainment. Highly recommend, removes the route decision making yet allows flexibility to explore something off the route as well. Perfect day.

I grew up in New England, Massachusetts specifically, and just about 50 miles north of Hyannis, so I thought I new quite a bit about Cape Cod. Well, this Cape Cod & Provincetown Self-Guided Driving & Walking Audio Tour taught me an awful lot of things I didn't know! The narration is appropriate, pleasant, and not too long for each destination. We drove to the starting point, turned the app on, and easily followed the route to each destination. Along the way we were able to admire the scenery as well as our various destinations - several of which I didn't even know existed! When we stopped for lunch or to look around a destination, or just grab a coffee, the app patiently awaited us at the same point we paused it. It's like having your own private tour guide in your car, who doesn't talk too much or make silly jokes ;-) We especially appreciated the information regarding the American Indian population at the time of the Pilgrims. Their input into what has now become America is duly and respectfully noted. The Cape Cod & Provincetown Self-Guided Driving & Walking Audio Tour is well worth the small price to purchase it, and we look forward to using more of these tours in other US destinations.
