The key to a good day out always begins with a good the skipper. If that’s right, then it’s down to weather and luck. Patricia Rose ticks all the boxes and is a top notch charter. Had a cracking evening run up the river with Andy and his wife Trish. Lots of helpful advice and patient assistance where needed, good tackle and tea and hot dogs to boot. Very highly recommended.

My wife and I met Elaine Shaw who was not only precisely on time but immediately made a terrific impression on both of us. We usually book a guide in most cities we visit and found Pilgrim on the web. We were extremely pleased with our choice. Elaine was friendly, informative and able to answer virtually every question we asked (and we did ask many !). The 3 to 4 hours passed all too quickly which served to reinforce our opinions and our only disappointment was when we had to say goodbye. Highly Recommended !

Jayne and Adrian are a brilliant double act - the dressing up and enactment of a Mayflower character is inspired and impressive both from the perspective of being on the tour and for getting the attention of other potential punters who we passed along the way. It also shows a great level of commitment and makes it easier to bring the stories to life. Both of them are very knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects and it is also great to have 2 running the show as one can pick up the reactions of guests and their particular interests while the other is delivering a section of the tour, while also filling in gaps in knowledge or simply a temporary loss of memory. Likewise, their delivery styles are very different so if the group has more chemistry with one than the other, they can be flexible and accommodate it. They reinforced my recently acquired belief that Plymouth is hugely underestimated as a city and has played a truly extraordinary role in the maritime, trading, naval, political and scientific fields of British/UK history. Go on their tour and tell me otherwise... Admin-wise they were very understanding of my request to switch my session on the same day and then accommodating my lateness due to terrible traffic. Awesome.
