I am so glad I chose the option to take the actual tour on Martha’s Vineyard - would not have known all the great information that was given to us - if we did it ourselves! It was amazing 💕

BART the minibus driver was excellent, the boat was on time but the tour with Juvian was a bit frustrating as we had such a short time in Edgartown. It would have been better to have more time there for lunch and a look around. We only had 35 minutes there barely enough to get a takeaway sandwich. Also the bus went too fast to get photos or notice landmarks pointed out. This is not Juvuans fault but the tour operator not allowing enough time.

It’s a long day but well worth it! We enjoyed some free time and learned a lot about the area and its history. Both Jonathan and Tom were great!

The ferry ride was a delightful experience, offering stunning ocean views and a refreshing breeze. The guided tour was informative and fun, giving us a great overview of the island’s charming spots. Plus, the shopping time was perfect to browse local boutiques and pick up unique souvenirs. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with beautiful scenery, good company, and memorable moments. Highly recommend for a quick and enjoyable escape!
