Traveler reviews
My experience was nothing...
My experience was nothing like what we thought we booked. First they said it was 12 hours long and, they would pick us up at 6:15 AM. Then they called and changed the time. When we started the tour we only had 2 stops for 15 minutes. We would’ve liked to stop for lunch and more time to look in the stores. It was not the trip we expected.
A Wonderful Day on Martha’s Vineyard
This is an easy, stress-free way to spend the day on Martha’s Vineyard. Paco, our driver, was great! The drives to and from Martha’s Vineyard went smoothly, with no hiccups. John, our tour guide, was excellent! He shared a lot of knowledge on the island as a local resident. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!
Mark was an amazing...
Mark was an amazing guide. He was very soft spoken, patient and knowledgeable. I learned many interesting things.
Very pleasant day
This was a great day trip. Willy, our driver from Boston to the ferry took very good care of us. Made sure we had drinks and snacks for the ride and that we knew where we were going to catch the ferry and where he would be when we got back. He also contacted us during our time on Martha's Vineyard to ensure we knew where we were catching our tour bus and what time we needed to catch the ferry back. Our guide on Martha's Vineyard was awesome. Liz was very knowledgeable and had history on the island. She wove that personal knowledge into her narrating and it was very interesting. Before catching the ferry, we had time for lunch and a bit of shopping. Plan on a whole day for this tour. We left at 6am and got back to our hotel around 6pm.
Lovely trip
