This tour is a great option for anyone visiting Provincetown. Rik was extremely knowledgeable both about the history of the city, as well as some of the fun facts and historic stories that are harder to come by. He took the time to find out my friend and my interests, and from there he focused on finding that little hidden gem or out of the way place that would be the perfect attraction or view for us. After telling him I was an artist, he took us to the community art space that was having an opening that day. We were honored to be in attendance and to see the incredible work that was being exhibited. We felt safe at all times, and Rik was great about leading us around any traffic that was happening. He also recommended us to the BEST location for sunset cocktails after our tour. Thanks Rik! Highly recommend!!

Loved that the tourguide started the topic before we arrived at the destination and was occasionally comical. Didnt love that the map feature didnt let us know when we detoured. Would like to see "places to park" especially if you have an oversized vehicle.

Markie is EXCELLENT at handling whatever you want to do. They were on time picking us up from our resort and we drank Red Stripe Beer while being driven to our excursions. Very clean vehicle and a top notch driver (because driving in Jamaica needs to be left up to the locals. Do NOT attempt). The skyride was amazing, and the bobsled was SUPER fun. You can go as fast as you like. Lunch was arranged, as well as the opportunity to zip line and swim if you choose. Mystic Mountain was a blast. Thank you Royal Tours, you guys are the best!

If you are a photographer visiting the Cape, this 100% should be on your to do list. Any skill level will have a fantastic time & learn plenty of astronomy, shooting techniques/light painting & find interesting (& not crowded) spots to shoot with Tim. I’ve done 2 tours over the years (lower & upper cape) & come home with very cool shots of some of the cape’s landmark spots, with the Milky Way stretching across the sky. So much fun, highly recommend!
