The Falmouth History Tour reveals how this place rose from an infamous privateer base into one of the busiest ports in the world — dynamic and diverse. And how, just as quickly, it all began to slip away.

The tour has been carefully written to fascinate and entertain in equal measure — an unmissable experience for anyone visiting the town.
