4.00Susanne was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the Island. However, this tour needs to add more stops not just being on the minivan for 3 hours with one stop! I wish they have stopped in Edgartown and the Gingerbread houses so we can explore by ourselves.
I already did this...

Not the Black History Tour

3.00This tour provides very little information on Oak Bluffs and the history of African Americans and Native Americans on the island. Seems lighthouses are more important. Since the tour begins in Oak Bluffs it should provide a little more history than a few houses that were a part of the Underground Railroad. African American men worked the waterways of this island as well, but no mention of that, just the slavery part. I would suggest learning more history than just celebrity dwellings and lighthouses.
Great experience!

5.00It was very informative and learned a lot of past and recent events of the island. Bart, our tour guide was friendly and made us laugh with his jokes. Well worth it!
Beautiful Saturday in August

5.00We had Bill as our driver and due to the low traffic (and excellent passengers!) we were able to see 4 lighthouses on our tour around the island. Bill gave an awesome narration all around and gave us the name dropping that we craved!
