James was a wonderful driver. He got us to and from the ferry very promptly and safely. He even brought snacks since the traffic was bad.

Willy our driver was very polite and courteous. He accommodated a pick up of our family at our hotel which isn't a meeting point. He communicated with us throughout and ensured all excursion plans were well coordinated. Excellent experience, great service.
Good time!
Jeffrey was a wonderful driver and we enjoyed our second trip to Martha’s Vineyard! We felt safe and comfortable in his van and he gave us detailed instructions about the ferry.
Tale of Two Guides
Our driver/guide from Boston to Woods Hole was Willy and he was great - polite, kind and thoughtful and a careful driver. He even messaged me while we were on Martha’s Vineyard to check if we met or optional minibus tour and if everything was going ok. When we arrived back in Boston he kindly dropped everyone off at their different hotels, which was above and beyond the tour package. In contrast to Willy, our guide on Martha’s Vineyard for the optional minibus tour was terrible. I prefer not to put his name, but he was cynical, rude to some passengers and NEVER stopped talking, often about himself. By the end of our 3 hour minibus tour our bus group was silent and it was noticeable that due to their dissatisfaction most of the passengers did not leave a tip.
