2.00This is not a good trip to take. The bus ride from Boston to the ferry was fantastic. Once on Island, you board an old, beat up white school bus with uncomfortable seats, small windows, with no ability to see where you’re at. It was extremely difficult to understand our Jamaican tour guide and you are rushed around the island. I do not recommend this tour.
very organized and...

5.00Johnny Boston is the man! He made the trip to and from informative and easy. Martha’s Vineyard was amazing even though a bit chilly today. Thx again to Johnny and the team for an awesome experience.

3.00If I had the option I would give 3 1/2 stars. It is a FULL DAY TOUR! 2 1/2 hours to the ferry and same time getting back from the ferry is the worse part, but not horrible. Once on the ferry and getting to the island is enjoyable and scenic. We opted for the guided tour and Tom was an encyclopedia of the history and culture of the island. Tour is a thorough view of basically the entire island and towns. Not a lot of WOW moments but a few interesting facts and some nice views.

5.00Bus ride gets you all around the island with time to shop. Very informative and fun. Better after the summer rush we got to see the fall colors less crowded and shops were at 50% off in most areas. Half the shops were closed for the season. But the open mix was fine.
