5.00Great knowledge and fun facts from Thatch on the coach and Tom on the island tour. Both great characters which made the experience even more enjoyable and learned loads about the area, the history and definitely want to revisit and explore further.

5.00Excellent trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Picked up in Boston and very informative trip to the ferry by our driver Hatch. Great fun. We also did the island tour with Tom who lives on the island and knows everything there is to know. He also starred in Jaws as a child. Both gentlemen were great. Highly recommend.

5.00Johnny Boston was funny and kind. He drove the bus to get us to where we caught the ferry. Ferry ride was comfortable and clean. Tom, the bus driver and tour guide on Martha’s Vineyard was very knowledgeable of the island. It was a great way to see and learn about the island. I would recommend this to almost anyone. The tour didn’t require much walking so anyone with slight mobility issues could easily do this tour. If you do want to wonder a little more, after the bus tour of the island, you will have a few hours to shop, eat, or beach. This was a great experience.
Great experience and go again.

5.00This is a great way to see Martha's Vinyard. We did the add on island tour, which was so worth it. Our main driver for the day, Bart, was a good driver and provided helpful information. The island tour by Tom was perfect because it was 3 hours of an informative drive around the whole island and seeing each town. We had 2 hours at the end to explore Oak Bluffs by ourselves.

5.00Fantastic day trip to Martha's Vineyard. Was great to get out of the city for a day. We were staying at the Mandarin Oriental and walked one street back for pick up at The Marriott Copley at 6.10am 😩. The driver down to Falmouth was brilliant. Got us there in plenty of time for our 8.30am, 45 min ferry to Oak Bluffs. From there we were picked up by Tom (born and bred on the island) who was full of the most incredible information about the island. He drove us to all 6 towns stopping in Edgartown - but not for long enough to eat and have a look at the shops! More time here please. 🙏 as it's the most beautiful of all the towns. Had 2.5 hours in Oak Bluffs at the end. Back at the hotel for 6.30pm. Would love to go back and tour Cape Cod, MV and Nantucket. Beautiful area.
Fantastic Trip

5.00This was an amazing experience from the beginning to the end. Got picked up on time from back bay area and everything worked as scheduled. Very friendly people, the bus driver and the tour guide were very knowledgeable and funny. Got a great taste of Martha’s Vineyard with enough free time to explore. Got back in back bay by 6:30pm.
