I enjoyed the trip to Martha vineyard on the ferry. Beautiful scenery. Loved all of it. Also we had a beautiful day. And of course the driver was excellent explaining the whole trip. Very professional. And very knowledgeable.

Martha's vineyard was on my bucket list. Glad I finally got to visit this gorgeous island. Tour guide was so knowledgeable. Enjoyed every bit of the tour. I would recommend it to all.
Long, expensive day to see very little

The meeting time was super early and the day was too long for what it was seen. I believe this tour needs to be split into the people that tour the island on its own vs the one taking the additional tour of the island. There was a lot waiting time after the island tour which I assume was given to those touring the island on its own (as they needed to take public transportation to get to places). Not worth the money. The island is not that interesting and there was not much to do near the ferry station after the island tour was completed. There were other ferries I could have taken and get back to Boston earlier. I would not recommend this tour at all. A very long expensive day to see very little. In addition, while tips are appreciated and are not mandatory, the signs on the buses give you a guilt trip as they state that "tips are a big part of the tour guides income". This was an expensive tour, you should pay your drivers and tour guides better so they don't rely on tips to make a decent income.
Well worth the money and full day.

The transportation and tour guides were great. Funny and shred really great information. Also appreciated the personal experience stories. I wish I had not waited until late October to do this, because some of the business on the island had already closed for the season - but that’s on me.
Jennifer was the best!

Jennifer was a hoot on her “last day!” She made the trip so much more fun. Loved the ferry! Everything was so beautiful on the island.
