​An absolute gem of a tour! High-quality history at your own pace. - If you want a deep dive into Falmouth’s incredible seafaring past without being tethered to a large tour group, this self-guided audio walk is perfect. The narration offers a fascinating look into the seafaring history of Falmouth and the surrounding area, and the audio includes clear, built-in walking directions that make navigating a breeze. ​The core tour takes about 70 minutes, but the real beauty of the self-guided format is the flexibility. It's easy to hit pause to explore a local shop, grab a drink, or just stop and enjoy the views. The route is nicely designed, guiding you through the vibrant popular areas while also taking you into Falmouth's quieter, charming side streets. A must-do!

Great for First Timers. - Well paced and very informative. A great way to get a feel of the place as a first time visitor. A couple of parts had a steep climb, but what goes up must come down and a nice walk along the Quay side to finish.
