Highlights
  • Provincetown - Nearly 400 years ago, they said I had “rather bine a Husband than a Wife… a preacher than a Hearer” and banished me from Massachusetts.
    Hm, well… I’ve been able to pull myself back and gain a toehold at the tip of the (now) state that United them all. Please join me in spreading my “corrupt opinions” once more on a history tour…

Fanstastic and hilarious! - Fantastic and hilarious! Lucinda was full of actual history, hilarious modern political and just incredibly witty. I grew up going to Provincetown, and I learned things! This is truly an “only in P-town” experience you shouldn’t miss.

Walking tour with Lucinda Liphol is a must to do. - Our tour with Lucinda was outstanding! The hour long tour was filled with historical facts but presented from her view which was incredibly funny and our group laughed pretty much the entire time. It was like being with a walking stand up comedienne.

A talented comic, accomplished historian, and ruthless gossip - Lucinda's tour of Provincetown is your best bet for learning all the historical context that has created the weird, ecstatic, queer bohemia of Provincetown that we all love (and sometimes begrudge). I really appreciated that Luncinda also makes a point to skewer and shred contemporary challenges threatening this delicate community and place. Lucinda Liphole is a talented comic, accomplished historian, and ruthless gossip, and no matter how little or much you already know about Provincetown, this is a must while you're visiting. GO!

Tidbits of Provincetown History Told in a Humorous Fashion - One of the highlights of our trip to the east coast. Lucinda was a fabulous guide! Learned some interesting facts about Provincetown and its history. The info was presented with great humor, lots of innuendo, and some timely political humor. Maybe not the tour for everyone but for us, it was awesome. Lucinda was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend if you want to learn about Ptown in a *fun* way!

Backs to the wall gents! - An amusing and irreverent tour through the history of Ptown - with a particular slant on its ‘strange’ history. Recommended for a fun hour when visiting.

Absolutely Fabulous, and Funny. - I recommend this tour for anyone interested in history and current political commentary. Lucinda is knowledgeable and also hilarious. Her stories of Provincetown are very entertaining, and told in a way that you want to hear more. The tour is an hour that goes by like it is 10 minutes. I give this tour 12 out of 10 stars.

Hilarious, Witty, and Smart - Lucinda has the talent and personality to tell a story that is as engaging as it is funny. Quick-witted and intelligent, she is able to deliver a tour that provides some of the history of Provincetown you wouldn't even have thought to ask about. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend.
