    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 through Provincetown's center! As the Puritans' worst nightmare and icon for renovating gender, I think you will find there is no better mouth from which to hear Ptown's story. Leaning into foes' accusations of "Licentiousnesse and sinfull Liberty", some call my modern preaching comedy. Please understand therefore that the tour is for adults only. Do not waste time in discovering the grace of true Christ in your souls and join me as a member of the Elect!

    An Irreverent, Funny Tour of Central Provincetown
    Anne was pleasant, witty, and did a great tour, including both historical and current events, visiting several sites in the center of Provincetown. She was very much in character with the historical figure, a woman who dared to disagree with the grim Puritanical leaders of Mass. Bay Colony, and was ordered to leave the colony, family and all. If she did a series of tours, I'd do them all. Excellent! The most fun thing we did on the Cape.

    Extremely entertaining, and maybe even informative!
    Very entertaining!! I am not sure how historically accurate all of the commentary was, but if you want pure history, go to the library! Very talented and attentive tour guide.

    What a blast
    Anne's tour of Provincetown was filled with solid information, but the humorous puns were what made it great.

    Super fun& thought provoking history tour!
    It was a refreshing way to go down the Freedom Trail! It is a creative way to learn about the new colony and it’s religious struggles from it’s beginning in the 1630’s. I prepared a little beforehand...so we had nice discussions and Anne was great at answering my questions! I love history tours of all kinds and this one is a stand out!

    Something different in the best way
    So my friend and I visited Boston and were looking for something to do that was “traditional”. I’ve thought about moving to Boston for its history, but often times I feel like as a 30 year old I don’t want to do the “touristy things” on our visit. I saw this tour on Eventbrite and thought the price was right. I wanted to do a tour of the Freedom Trail for information anyways, but do find most tours are bogged with information and I don’t want to do those. I saw this and my friend told me to go ahead and book it. I was hesitant. It ended up being the BEST historic tour I’ve had of any city. I’m a traveler and I really enjoyed the idea of learning history in a way that was off the beaten path. Mean king not the traditional $50 boring tour. This certainly was entertaining and informative. Brent has the knowledge of the character he plays and puts humor in it as well. All other reviews I see are “informative” but I couldn’t find one that was entertaining as well. Worth a tour. Highly recommend.

    A new fan of Anne Hutchinson!
    Half of my friends say that Boston is boring, so in the interest of finding something cool to do with them, I searched and found this avant-garde theatery journey through history. It’s based on Anne Hutchinson’s story that I’d never heard before, but after this walk through the city you find that her story is still so present it’s unbelievable many don’t know about her. I laughed, I felt uncomfortable (and very comfortable as well), learned, and got hooked on Hutchinson. It’s a wonderfully fun option in downtown Boston. Hope to get my friends on it soon!

Anne proved to be both entertaining and knowledgeable. She offered a perspective of the history of Provincetown which was not only unique, but was substantiated in historical fact. She engaged everyone in the group during the tour, while remaining kind and sensitive to everyone’s comfort level. That said, remember that this is a tour for open~minded adults - lots of fun profanity strewn about which would not be appropriate for children, but is most enjoyable for adults. I was thrilled to discover that in addition to being an entertainer and historian, Anne has also been involved in local politics ~ she is the perfect person to present this tour. I recommend you do this tour early on in your stay so that you can have her perspective with you as you absorb the city from more traditional “white-washed” tours. Go have fun and learn something at the same time!

One of the best parts of our vacation. Hilarious yet historical. I laughed and I learned. Extremely engaging, you can easily fall in love with Anne . A true gem of entertainment. Anne, despite being 400 years old, brought contemporary issues into her narrative adding her own spin. I recommend to everyone who loves to laugh and be entertained by a 400 year old woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. So interesting that I immediately looked her up and read up on her life and trial

Verily, I must commend unto thee the most estimable historical tour of Provincetown. 'Tis a journey most worthy of thy time and attention. Anne, with wisdom and mirth (and a “bit” of sarcastic wit) transports you to an age past while traversing the quaint and storied streets of Provincetown. The tour is most excellently fashioned, each step an epitome of historical import.
But the crowning jewel of the tour is Anne’s knack for turning historical tidbits into punchlines. Who knew a 17th century religious rebel could be so entertaining?!

Been coming to Ptown since we were young sprites who could climb The Monument & the Truro dunes in the same day. Not so anymore, but what a treat to get an insider's take on Ptown's history, hosted with titillative enthusiasm by Ms. Anne's Hutchinson. A hilarious & informative tour.

We'd already booked an evening show in town by another performer...& to our delight, Ms. Anne was a guest performer who'd transformed herself into a stunning & talented beauty, Ms. Lucinda Liphol...& she rocked her number! We'll be back next season.

We wanted to learn about the historical aspects of Provincetown. Decided to take the tour with Anne.

Why? Our choice was assisted by reading reviews on TA mentioning "historical...with a twist" - "funny" - great fun!" - "edgy adult humor."

We found our hour with Anne delivering all of the above. Never boring, open to questions, talented "in character" comedian, and thoroughly entertaining while giving us a glimpse of Provincetown "back in the day."

Emphatically, we join the other reviewers giving Anne kudos for a original, interesting, and fun introduction to Provincetown.

Highly recommend!

A must do! Anne was clever, insightful and perfectly cheeky. Amazing degree of research and applying her story/voice to our modern context. Wish major museums/history institutions would tell inclusive and full narratives the way she does. Beyond impressed and hope to catch one of her other shows in Ptown! Thanks Anne!!

Anne was informative and hysterical. We walked away with some great historical nuggets and thoroughly enjoyed Anne’s irreverent but intelligent humor. 10/10 I would recommend for a history buff with a great sense of humor.

My partner and I were walking to the pool at the crown and anchor. As we were walking, we happened upon someone who was waiting for the Anne Hutchinson tour. We then saw the Anne Hutchinson impersonator and were instantly delighted by her and her rapport. We decided to join the group on the tour instead of going to the pool, and we were so happy we made that decision. She was funny, charming, informative and made a historical tour into a fun inviting event for everyone to enjoy! We were pleased to make new friends along the way as well.

Anne was HILARIOUS. It was more comedy than historical which I was fine with. She was clearly well known in the Provincetown community because multiple people waved or said hi to her. The tour was really fun. I would recommend it for adults and fans of drag-style comedy.

This experience was totally worth the money and not like your everyday tour! Short walks with frequent stops for “historical facts” made the walk enjoyable. Anne’s colorful sense of humor was hilarious and entertaining throughout the tour. I definitely recommend this and would gladly do it again!
