5.00It was an excellent tour very glad I got to go. Thanks very much for rescheduling our trip.
Fun and Informative

5.00Johnny Boston (real name or a joke?) was our driver to and from Martha’s Vineyard. No complaints on his driving. He provided information which was peppered with his amusing commentary. He has a great sense of humor and made the drive go quickly. Our driver around Martha’s Vineyard was Tom. As a lifelong resident he was very informative and shared many stories. We enjoyed his accent and experiences. A long day but well worth it!
Would not recommend!

2.00This tour was very disappointing to say the least. Extremely long and boring tour. 90% of the people on the tour bus expressed extreme displeasure with the tour. Lost a valuable item during the tour and reached out to the tour operator to please search the bus; never heard back from them.

5.00The trip to Martha’s Vineyard was fun and entertaining with Johnnie Boston providing humor along the way. He was prompt and explained a lot on the drive over. Skip the island excursion. Not enough time in the towns with the most to offer, especially Edgartown, and too much time near the ferry which is a tourist trap!
Very unprofessional

1.00Boring trip, vehicle was uncomfortable, got off the ferry, no one knew where to go, the whole group had to wait and look for the bus at the pier, very unprofessional with no clear instructions.

5.00This is the best way for 1st time visitors to see the island and learn some of the history. I do wish the bus had been smoother (a school bus was used). Overall, Anthony and Jonny Boston did a great job.

4.00Johnny Boston was great! Knowledgeable, helpful and was able to find short cuts when too muct traffic. My only issue was that he drives faat the Martha's Vineyard tour was dissapointing. They use a school bus as the vehicle and that is not a comfortable and appropiate tour bus specially for the price. Anthony was knowledgeable but he also drove fast and there were not too many stops. He spoke too fast and having an accent is difficult.to understand. I have an accent myself so I have to be cognizant of that too.
Personally, I would have...

4.00Personally, I would have appreciated if the bus driver/tour guide had left out all the corny jokes and been quiet except for facts. The chosen stops were pleasant and appropriate.
