Had a great trip with Craig. Hw was on time and met at a convenient location. He toured us around a solid 2 hours and stopped to take great pictures. Thanks again

Craig did an excellent job balancing our interests and exposing us to new facts and places around the island. The 3 hour tour is the best option. It gives you time to visit nearly the entire island and stop for a fresh lobster roll along the way!

ENJOYABLE time with Craig touring MV! He was fun to be around and kept the vibe positive. He has a skill for communicating and was easy to understand as we are traveling from India.

Craig picked us up and drove us through the 3 populated down island towns. His research was thorough as the tour was fully narrated. We enjoyed it from start to finish!

This is a tour that has been on the list for years. We prefer private tours and booked this based on reviews. Let me tell you, Mr Laid Back provided us with a day we won't soon forget and boy did it live up the hype. Thanks again for being such a gentlemen ;>))

I chose the 2 hour tour for my family of 5 with 3 teenagers who do not like being in a car for long. We were very impressed with our guide Mr. Laid Back, who was on time, professional and made the tour enjoyable. Even our teenagers enjoyed it and loved hearing about Jaws and the local celebrities and rich history of Marthas Vineyard.
