    3. Provincetown walking tour with lobster roll tasting

    5.0· 11 reviews· 2 hours

    Two-hour guided walk through Provincetown's history, followed by a local lobster roll feast at Vorelli's Restaurant.

    We had a wonderful family outing on this delightful foodie tour in Provincetown, including my wife and our 16-year-old triplet daughters. Our guide, Cathy, was incredibly entertaining and full of knowledge, providing us with an insider’s perspective of this charming seaport. The standout bites included lobster rolls, Portuguese fried dough, and roasted banana ice cream. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about Cape Cod's early history and the renowned artists, authors, chefs, and playwrights who launched their careers in P-Town. As a fan of Anthony Bourdain, it was inspiring to hear how he rose from dishwasher to Food Icon. Cathy truly made this experience memorable and enjoyable.30brentn

  7. Interactive scavenger hunt in Provincetown, Cape Cod10

    10. Interactive scavenger hunt in Provincetown

    4.3· 6 reviews· 2 hours

    Two to three hours guided by a remote host via your phone — uncover art and culture in Provincetown while solving clues for points and competing on a leaderboard.

    The experience was disappointing and not as advertised. We paid $30 just to access a power point and message someone randomly. It was confusing, and we earned points without a clear purpose. You can explore P town on your own without this. A prize or goal would have made it worthwhile. It felt like a waste of money.Q384LOeileens
