5.00Jonathan was a terrific driver with great knowledge about the sights and history of the bus portion of the tour. Once on the island, Tom was equally knowledgeable about all things Martha's Vineyard.

2.00First of all...NO SCHOOL BUS and why would you???? For $380 yoo can afford air conditioning for your guests. This was. horrible. Hotter than a BBQ. You people need AC in ALL buses/tours. The elderly suffered. Too much island of bushes. NOT enough stops. It was so fast/so hot we could not wait to get off that hot buss and back on ferry. The ONLY thing we liked were the cottages and ferry...for cooler air. I will never do this tour again. It wasnt worth $380. I would not even pay $50. I will not recommend to friends.
Needed a better tour of Martha's Vineyard

1.00I went on a similar tour many years and I guess MV has changed a lot. Years ago, we went through the neighborhoods for a closer view of the cottages and some other sites. This time around the only stops were in downtown Edgartown for shopping and we also stopped at the cliffs. Everything else seemed to be so overgrown, it was a pass-by or point to, "its over there".
Great tour
