Long but interesting

4.00It is a very long day especially if there is traffic coming back into Boston. We did not get back to our hotel until 8:00 pm Interesting to see and tour guides were knowledgeable. Anthony was funny and made the trip more fun with his humor. Bus is a converted school bus.
Nice tour of Martha’s Vineyard

4.00Great tour with excellent and jovial narration by Anthony. Merited a 5 rating except that the vehicle was like a schoolbus with no rackspace or for coffee cups

4.00Great tour. Loved being able to see the vineyard. Likes that we could get out and shop a bit. Tourist spoke kind of fast and it was difficult to understand Anthony at times but enjoyed it!
Wonderful MV tour

5.00Really great experience from start to finish. Our tour guide and driver to the port, Bart, was friendly, kind, funny, and informative. The tour on MV with Anthony was also great. I originally book with no tour but changed my mind and am glad I did! This was I got to see and learn about all parts of the island. Would recommend!
Left the driving & planning to someone else, great day trip!

5.00Appreciated confirmation phone call day before pick up. Pick up was on time and trip to ferry was seamless (about a 2 hour ride there), with Jennifer entertaining us along the way. Once we were aboard the ferry it was a relaxing trip across, with Anthony, our 3 hour island tour guide waiting for us when we disembarked. We boarded his bus (around 10:30) and off we went, with Anthony pointing out the historical spots and sharing stories along the way. 50 min stop in town, 15 min stop at cliffs, and we wrapped up around 1:30, leaving us with 2 hours to have lunch at The Black Dog Tavern and then wandering into the local shops before catching the ferry back. Jennifer was waiting dockside to drive us back to our hotel. It was a 12 hour day, very enjoyable!
A disappointing adventure.

3.00The guide we had on Martha’s Vineyard was very disappointing. The entire tour he was negative and very vocal about how he did not like the wealthy that lived on the island. Everyone in our tour was talking about how disappointed they were in this guide. His name was Keith and he drove a Taxi on the island. I never would have booked that trip to Martha’s if I would have known I would have been so disappointed. I took my daughter there for her birthday and I feel like he ruined the entire day. Very sad and disappointed. Sherri Savage Trip day Friday April 24th.
Great tour
