" I've spent 6 summers on the Cape, but doing this tour is the best day I've ever had there! " I brought my new husband to the Cape with me this summer and while I have had 6 summers out there, I thought we would give this a try. I truly struggled with whether we would enjoy since I have spent so much time there and wasn't sure if I would get anything new out of it... but what a great day! I can honestly say that not only was it well worth the money but incredibly enjoyable, beautiful and interesting. I saw places I had never been to or even knew of. Terry and Des are 'one-of-a-kind' and treat you like family. They will take you wherever you want, including adding things on to the tour just to make it more memorable. My husband and I were celebrating our 1st anniversary and Des went out of his way to take the most beautiful pictures of us overlooking the ocean just for us to have as a keepsake. Do this tour and you will never regret it. Madison, Wisconsin

"Wicked Awesome Tour" We had a wonderful time on our scenic tour on August 3rd, 2010. We met Des & Terry and spending the day with them was like visiting old friends. They showed us lighthouses, beaches, windmills, etc...but what they really showed us was good old hospitality!! The tour was filled with pleasant conversation, informative stories and a great sandwich! Dez & Terry were so great, that they even used their camera to take pictures of us and then e-mail them. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see everything that Cape Cod has to offer! It's like having your own private tour with Uncle Dez & Aunt Terry!. Old Bridge, New Jersey

"Best Day Of Our Vacation". There is nothing more that we can add to what the other reviews have said. I would just be repeating the same sentiments as all the rest. It was our first visit to the Cape and saw it , as we had pictured it, through Des and Terry's eyes. They went way beyond our expectations. We made new friends and had wonderful stories to tell our friends in Ohio when we got back. Thank you for all the history, the helpful suggestions and especially the Hot Chocolate Sparrow .

Fantabulous !!!!! What a wonderful find! My husband and I were very delighted with our experience. We would not have seen so much on our own. Des and Terry are wonderful and truly know the history of the area. On our trip we found an old school house converted into an ice cream parlor, that was a new found treasure to even Des and Terry. Hopefully it will be added to future tours. Fabulous! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour. Danielson,Connecticut

Wonderful Tour Not To Be Missed ! This was our first time in Cape Cod so we wanted to get the lay of the land and found this fantastic husband and wife tour company. Des and Terry were fabulous, such a pleasure to be with. They picked us up at our B&B in Dennis Port at 9 am. As soon as we met them I knew we had made a great choice. They were so friendly. We picked up another couple and off we went. While we were on the road they would explain so many things about the area, and our 11 year old son had a great time discussing history with them. They were funny and informative and made the whole tour a wonderful experience. They had drinks and snacks which was great. Also, because we were not in a rush they took us to see places that weren't even on the itinerary. We had such a great time we didn't want the tour to end. When we said our goodbyes it was like saying goodbye to old friends. I highly recommend this tour company. We will always remember them and would definitely go on another tour when we go back. Thank you Terry and Des! You are awesome!. New Jersey.

DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR Des and Terry are so passionate about what they do and the area they live in. It felt like we were with good friends and had such a great day. The tour was really informative and they made sure that each of us got to see what we wanted to see! We never would have found all of the wonderful sites or learned so much doing this on our own. This tour is amazing - and their company made it even more memorable... we can't wait till the next one!!! Barb,Buffalo,NY

A really great tour. My wife and I took the Seal and Lighthouse tour on 7/18. It was an all day tour---a great lunch was included. We've been on a lot of tours over the years and have never had guides that were more accommodating. The scenery was spectacular---bring your camera. This tour gets our highest recomendation---don't miss it if you're traveling on the Cape! Jnemeth Wadsworth,Ohio

My wife and I have been on many scenic tours of cities up and down the east coast. Every time we visit a new place we find it is the best way to explore the unfamiliar area for the least amount of money and in the least amount of time. During our recent visit to Cape Cod, Ma last week we boarded the Cape Cod Scenic Tour van and enjoyed the tour of the area. We selected the Lighthouse and seal tour as that particular trip seemed to fit our schedule and interests the best. Making the reservation was easy and informative. Terry was a great help in scheduling the pickup and taking lunch orders. We boarded the van promptly at 9am as scheduled and we were off. We were quickly informed that the other group of 3 people wanted to add a couple of things to the tour which would put us off schedule a little. No big deal for us at all. After all it was supposed to be a 6 hour tour, what are a few more minutes plus we also got to see a few more sights. During the trip Terry and Dez were both very friendly and informative. They seemed to cater to our every need and let the group decide how long we stop at different sights and made sure we had enough water to drink and a very large selection of snacks if we got hungry. In the middle to the tour we stopped for lunch at one of the attractions. Terry made a wonderful picnic lunch that was exactly how I hoped it would be. The sandwich was delicious. Throughout the tour Dez and Terry seemed very excited to be given the chance to show all us their cape. It seemed as if we were visiting family and they were showing us where they live and telling us the history more than just an ordinary scenic tour. They were also very interested about where we live and the different things we have to offer. After a few extra sights that Dez had to show us based on the feedback he was getting from the group we ended our tour 2 hours later than anticipated. We got an 8 hour tour for the price of a 6 hour tour. We saw so much. Initially my wife and I had thought that $70 was a little expensive for a scenic tour but 8 hours of gas, a free picnic lunch, and all the knowledge that was given made the $70 well worth every penny. Anyone visiting the Cape should take a day and enjoy this tour. We plan to return to the Cape and experience the P-town tour. Thanks for a great Day!! Endwell,NY

A wonderful relaxing tour. The couple who operates this tour company are passionate about the area they live in. The tour was informative, full of scenic attractions, and they were more than willing to show us what we were most interested in. A lunch was provided and there was no shortage of bottled water and snacks, which was very welcome since we took the tour on a day on which the temperatures reached into the high 90's. We viewed many lighthouses, a windmill, and watched seals frolic waiting for snacks from fishing trawlers that were offloading their day's catch. From Marconi's first transmission site to the views across the Cape from Scargo Tower, this tour was jam-packed with interesting sites, historical tidbits and pleasant conversation. We arrived back at our B&B feeling like good friends had given us a tour. We would not have been able to find all of the attactions from looking at travel guides, or at least not put them all together in an organized fashion so that we could have seen all that we saw in one day.

Des and Terry are great host and show you places that you would not be able to see by yourself. We saw lighthouses, Seals and beautiful homes that we would not have known about. They are delightful people to spend your day with, In fact by the time your tour is through you feel that you have made new friends that you would love to spend more time with.We will take this tour again when we go back to the Cape.Hopefully next year, We met some wonderful people on our tour and had a great time getting to know each other.We girls from Ky had a great time,and please if you get the chance have a tour with Terry and Des and make memories that will last forever.

We spent the day with Des and Terry showing us their Cape Cod. They picked three of us up in Hyannis and then added three ladies from a local motel,a great mix from OK to KY. The day was perfect for lighthouse viewing, beach walking, picnicking, visiting and historical commentary. Our group included a 86 year old grandmother, and though we were tired at the end of the tour, the breaks and the snacks were enough to keep us going strong all day. What a joy to spend time with such wonderful guests and hosts! The highest of reccomendations from all of us.

Best Sightseeing Tour on Cape Cod. We had a great day and had FUN traveling on the Cape. We saw more in 1 day than you can imagine. The Cape Cod Bay was so calm and breathtaking. The view from Scargo Tower was amazing. We got to see many Lighthouses, Chatham Light, Cape Cod Light, Nauset Light and the Three Sisters. Nice picnic lunch on the National Seashore and the driver was great. We have pictures from the most scenic areas of Cape Cod. This tour is a "Must Do".

The luck of the Irish must have been with me when I accidentally found Cape Cod Scenic Tours. This was the best day of my 4 day mini vaca on the Cape. I was driven around the entire Cape in a very comfortable van by the 2 most delightful people Terry & Des. They took me to the most beautiful beaches, parks and nature sites and shared many historical facts. I never would have been able to see (or find) all these highlights if I were on my own. I was very impressed with their knowledge, professionalism and witty personalities. Thank you so much for a wonderful day (and great lunch). Maryanne from Salem, MA

From the moment the large white van pulled up to our cottage and Des laid down the step stool and we entered a clean and comfortable van, I had the feeling that we were in for a real treat. Terry, who had called us the evening before to take our lunch order, accompanied us with her husband Des. There are three trip options but Des customized our tour and highlighted each area of the Cape. I learned much about the history, culture and wildlife of the Cape from both of our knowledgeable guides. We stopped frequently to visit ocean views, nature and history centers, and shopping and people watching in Provincetown. Des was always there to lend a helping hand as we disembarked and clambered back into the van. The camaraderie during our delicious outdoor lunch was a highlight of the trip. The five hours passed quickly and we were all sad to see it end and say goodbye to our new friends. This trip is suitable for all ages, with its minimal walking and is a wonderful way to spend a relaxing and interesting vacation day on the Cape. Jean.Beverly Ma

When you live somewhere all your life you often do not take advantage of what is in your own back yard.I found this true with my recent trip to the Cape.A group mostly residents of Massachusetts decided to take a tour of Cape Cod.Terry and Des offered a fun adventure that covered beaches I had never seen and ones that I have not visited in years all the way down to the dunes of P.Town and one of my personal favorites Race Point.They made the ride enjoyable and easy with fun historical facts and stops placed nicely along the way.This will be a must for any of my out of town guests visiting or for that fact it would be great as a surprise day out for a group of friends down the Cape for a long weekend of relaxing and fun.Thanks to Terry and Des for a great Day.Janet Lee.

Cape Cod Scenic Tours is simply one of the best I have taken, in this country or anywhere in Europe. It is extensive, intelligentlly and thoroughly researched, comfortable, and delightfully presented in a truly professional manner. You must take this tour! Lynn

Hi Terry: We have arrived home on May 31 and just wanted to say a big thank you for the awesome tour we have with you and Des. Our very favourite stop was the lunch at Rock Harbor and expecially the VERY HEALTHY Lunch. We all will have fond memories of our tour with you and Des. Best of luck with your new venture.

Dear Cindy,

It has been a couple months since my husband & I took our dream trip to New England. We met up with you on our 7th day of our 25 day trip. We have talked about our trip so many times since returning to Tucson AZ, and we so much enjoyed our first tour of Cape Cod with you. You suggested we go to Spanky's Clam Shack in Hyannis Harbor and it was great!We thought we would treat you to a meal at Spanky's too. Thank you again for some great memories.

Dear Cindy,

We had a wonderful time on your Sightseeing Tour, The Seashore, Seal and Lighthouse Tour was great. The historical locations in Dennis and Brewster were so interesting and seeing Provincetown from Scargo Tower was amazing. Thank you so much, and that lunch in Rock Harbor made our day. Chatham Fish Pier and the Seals were a perfect end to the day.

My group went on a tour with Betty . I think it was Monday 7/6/09. It was Leslie C. and Jennifer R., and three others. We had a wonderful time with Betty. She was great. We loved hearing the history of the area. We were grateful that our group was the only one on the van. That way if we took too long at a spot, we only inconvenienced ourselves.

Thanks again for a wonderful day.

I am happy you all had a great time with Betty, Thank you, Cindy

Hi Cindy,

Thanks again for the wonderful tour you gave us when we visited Cape Cod in September. We really enjoyed our day with you. I'm finally attaching the photo you asked me to send you that I took of the lighthouse through the rainy windows of your van. I added the other two photos in case you wanted to see them.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Hi Cindy---Just wanted to thank you for the best tour my husband and I have ever been on. Your knowledge of the area made the difference. We saw so much in the amount of time we had. Cape Cod is so beautiful. I loved the Bay, the windmills, Old Sea Captains Homes, John F. Kennedy Memorial, and my favorite--- the shops. The seals were fun to watch too. I took several pictures. My grandchildren will love those. You also surprised us with a wonderful picnic lunch over looking the bay. That made our day. Thanks for pointing out the T-shirts. Those were a great buy. Buy one get one free was a real deal. They all fit and wash well. Thanks again for making our vacation so memorable. Dolf and Phyllis

Dear Cindy,

It was so nice to hear from you. We enjoyed our two days with you and the lovely areas of Cape Cod that you took us to. You made our vacation very special. Your tours were very informative and the locations you took us to were excellent. The lunches you provided us with were delicious too and the places you chose to stop to eat were just great (found out that what those people were doing at one place with the sails is called "kite or sail boarding"). We truly saw so much and it was so nice not to have to drive ourselves. We would have missed a lot had we been on our own - traveling with you we could truly enjoy what was around us and since your knowledge of the area was superb it added so much to our visit. Thank you! Thank you!

The cove we stopped at where they were doing the mussel harvesting was very interesting, I still can't get over how many mussels came out of that little boat. That was the first time I had seen mussel harvesting.

We have and will continue to recommend you and your business to others…

At any rate I'll end my rambling and say again that we thank you for such a fabulous time and wish you much success with your tours going forward.

Fondly,
Joe & Margaret

Hi Cindy,

I am just back home this afternoon ..... after completing lots of chores on the cape!

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the day and found your tour to be so relaxing and very guest-friendly. It is a great orientation for anyone visiting the cape - even guests who have been many times can find something they never knew existed or might never had the chance to get there.

I think your product is right on target and you should enjoy a very productive summer season. I am sure you will get great feedback. I also think you are in the right place at the right time - lots of non US guests this year will increase the need for a overview of the cape.

I wish I was on cape I could help you out - don't know if you heard me tell Anna I used to be a tour manager in New England for Saga Holidays at UK based tour operator.

As mentioned I have added a little blurb to the email that I send just prior to arrival (esp. for EU guests). I have put your brochure in my Welcome Packet for each guest that is waiting for them in the cottage and I will cut and paste your marketing blurb in my Welcome Book. Wishing you a prosperous 2008 season.

We took the Provincetown Tour. Had a wonderful day. Cindy picked us up at our B&B around 9am. We took the scenic ride along rt 6a. This was perfect. We visited may areas including Scargo Tower in Dennis, Cape Cod Bay in Brewster, The Cape Cod National Seashore in Eastham along with Nauset Lighthouse and CoastGuard Beach. When we arrived in Provincetown we decided to walk along Commercial St. What fun, the shops and galleries were unique. We had a picnic lunch in a favorite location of Cindy's. On the way back we drove through Wellfleet and got to see the fisherman return with the days catch. We also watched locals digging for clams at low tide. Rock Harbor in Orleans was our last stop, perfect timing to watch all of the fishing boats leaving the harbor for an afternnon of fishing on Cape Cod Bay. We had a ball!!

CINDY.

We are back in Ireland and settled in to our daily routine once again after touring New England in the fall. - all went well and no problems with travel etc.

I want to thank you most sincerely for the lovely day you gave us in Cape Cod in your wagon and the many places of interest which you took us too. I have great memories of that day out which will always stay with me and the lovely luncheon at the waters edge.

Over the winter months, you should market your little niche into the small hotels and Bed & Breakfasts etc., and next Summer get the rewards. Do incorporate a stop to your friends little restaurant, all adds to being quaint. It is a very unique and personalised service and now a days, that is rare, but is something that alot of people still appreciate and enjoy.

We had a most memorable stay at the Captain Ferris B & B and I have thanked him for his introduction to your tour.

It is a little bit away, but have a wonderful season in 2008

If I ever hear of anyone going to the Cape, I have your card.

Kind regards,

Charlie & Rita
