5.00We loved the history, the beauty, and all else about Martha's Vineyard. A very nice tour. Our driver Brian was engaging and accommodating if we need time for stops for the long bus ride to the ferry. He also shared information along the way. Our island tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the island. He lives on a farm in the island and his family has lived there since the 1700's.
Great trip

5.00Excellent trip. Our bus driver Johnny Boston was funny and full of information making the ride seem shorter than it was. The island bus driver was a wealth of knowledge about Martha’s Vineyard going back to the 1600’s to the present. We had a great day and the price was very reasonable.

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.
Unique place to see
