I was very impressed that the day before the trip a representative called to ask about hotel pickup. Our hotel was not listed as a pickup spot so we planned to walk to the designated area. But the representative suggested a much closer pick up area and we only had to walk around the corner from our hotel instead of 1/4 mile. I appreciated the courtesy call! Driving to the ferry was very comfortable in a 24 passenger bus. The guide was friendly and provided water and snacks. The ferry ride was nice too! Arrived in Martha’s Vineyard to discover the three hour tour was on a very old school bus and was not very comfortable. Luckily it was a comfortable temperature outside that day and the bus didn’t get too hot or cold.. But this could be a big issue for extreme weather days. Tour guide was a resident of the island and very passionate about Martha’s Vineyard. Shared lots of interesting information and very willing to answer any questions. We enjoyed learning about the island. Overall we really enjoyed the day and would recommend it to others.

My most memorable was viewing the houses in the towns as well as the lighthouses and seeing an area where I only heard about it in books.

The boat was a different experience, but fun. Tom was my guide on the vineyard and was terrific - the owner of the company forewarned me about being on time in Awuinnah or I wold be left behind - no need for that, Tom gave us more time than in the summer

A long day but very enjoyable especially the optional 3 hr tour of Martha's Vineyard. Our MV guide Jonathan was amusing and very informative.

We are only in Boston for a few days, & I’m so glad we took this tour to Martha’s Vineyard! There’s no way we could’ve seen the island without Steve getting us to the ferry(1.5 hr drive in traffic). Once we arrived, Tom was right there to get us on the drive. Tom should write a book, he’s so knowledgeable about the island! I would definitely recommend this tour!

For first-timers, it is a nice introduction to the area. Quite a contrast from Boston. On MV tour guide, Tom, was a life-long resident and full of great and fun facts about the people, history and area.

This tour is as advertised. We found our tour guides Matt and Greg to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We happened to hit a beautiful day which added to the enjoyment. Both guides provided a nice balance of historical facts coupled with current information (sports, current events, celebrities, entertainment etc.). We enjoyed their sense of humour as well. Greg pointed out all the key locations and provided commentary as well.
