- Z3713EWmatth0 contributionsFalmouth Uncovered Walking Tour ReviewFalmouth Uncovered Walking Tour Review My wife and I recently joined the Falmouth Uncovered walking tour with Will, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Lasting an hour and a half, the tour took us through the heart of Falmouth, offering a fascinating dive into the rich history of the town. Will, our guide, was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about Falmouth, which made the tour both engaging and enjoyable. One of the highlights of the tour was Will’s accordion, which he played as we walked from one historical site to the next. His melodies added a charming and whimsical touch to the experience, making the journey between stops just as entertaining as the storytelling. The music, paired with his sense of humor, created a lively and fun atmosphere throughout. Will’s enthusiasm for Falmouth’s history was infectious, and his ability to weave humor into his narratives kept us smiling while learning about the town’s fascinating maritime past and hidden gems. The tour was well-paced, and by the end, we had gained a much deeper appreciation for Falmouth’s unique character. If you’re looking for a fun, informative, and musical exploration of Falmouth’s history, I highly recommend the Falmouth Uncovered tour with Will. It’s a perfect way to spend a couple of hours, guided by someone who clearly loves his town and delights in sharing it with others.Written 2 October 2024

- ancrofts0 contributionsA great way to learn about Falmouth!Very interesting and entertaining tour! Will was our tour guide and he speaks clearly and well, plus plays a musical instrument (like a small accordion) as you walk. His stories are generally historical, but he also gives information about the modern town. Thoroughly enjoyable!Written 5 September 2024
- Julie67230 contributionsHighly recommended!Our guide, Will, was excellent, so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had limited time in Falmouth and his tour was just what we needed to make the best of our time. Would highly recommend!Written 5 September 2024
- atir440 contributionsGreat walking tourThis is a wonderful tour. Our guide, Bobby, was very informative. It was obvious that he and his partner had done extensive research on the area and history of Falmouth. We enjoyed walking through the town and hearing various stories about the town. We also enjoyed hearing the other guide play his accordion for his group. We give the tour 5+++++++ stars!Written 3 September 2024
- ATraveller3630 contributionsPacked with HistoryA summers day had us in the company of 'Tennessee Bob' for a Walking Tour of Falmouth. From the early days before Falmouth was even named, through to the industrial revolution up to WWII. A walk through and around Falmouth with Bob leading the Tour was an absolute delight, seeing original 500 year old walls and roads, the docks and some of the original buildings really bought the place to life. We learnt so much more about Falmouth than we could ever have done without Bob leading the Tour. A prompt start at 11am at Grove place finishing at Prince of Wales Pier.Written 30 August 2024
- Reflex7820 contributionsAn informative and fun tour through Falmouth’s pastEven though I have lived in the area for years I learned so much. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and would recommend it if you have 90 mins free to discover the fascinating past of Falmouth. Thanks Bobby 😁Written 27 August 2024
- 809Rose0 contributionsInteresting, informative and entertainingI thought I knew Falmouth quite well but I learnt so much more about it thanks to the entertaining and informative walking tour. Our guide Bobby, spoke about the history and growth of Falmouth from it's early days with the piratical Killigrew family to the rise and fall of the Falmouth Packet and the development of the use of the natural deep-water harbour with such enthusiasm and knowledge he gave a vivid glimpse of what life would have been like in times past and the town's relevance to the world beyond these shores. Added to this we had some wonderful views to enjoy in the beautiful Cornish sun! I recommend this to anyone wanting to know more about Falmouth whether a visiting tourist or a resident of Cornwall.Written 27 August 2024

All!!
The pirate kindly delayed the tour for us to catch up as we were running late! We got lost through the country roads and they were ever so kind with us!
They were easy to find as not only you can follow the stops as per the itinerary but a dead pirate with an accordion can’t be missed! He has got a beautiful, powerful and clear voice that helps you following those amazing spooky stories!
The tour is also full of surprises! A local could not help to step in and bring his awesome anecdote! We’re still unsure if this was just an impromptu or part of the show!
Listen out for his sad story and let yourself go loose with all his tour suggestions!

We had a great time on the tour, Will is very entertaining, and it was fun learning a few facts about Falmouth and it’s spooky past! Will kept everyone captivated throughout the hour long tour, and played the euphonium so well! We felt like we were being led by the Pied Piper through the alleyways and streets!
A must do, bit of fun!

Will is a charismatic and engaging story teller with a deep knowledge of local history. I loved his tales of horror and especially enjoyed his melodeon playing as we walked around the streets of Falmouth. Great fun & a good introduction to the town.

Excellent tour about the darker side of Falmouth, with fantastic music and costume to match. Will is a great storyteller, and we will definitely be going on his history tour next time we are around the area. Great way to round off our trip! Many thanks!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Informative and a dry wit. Im born and bred in Falmouth so this tour helped me understand some of those stories I heard as a youngster. Still think the inspiration for Richard Parker in Life of Pi may originate in one of these stories.

I went on Will's fantastic spooky tour and It was so much fun. Will brought the drama with make up and costume (and 100% commitment). So many creepy and interesting stories of scary stuff that had happened in my town over the years. I'd happily join again.

Will gave a great tour pitched with just the right mix of ghost stories and history. It was well worth the money. We will be doing his day tour next time we visit.
