Time Well Spent - For first time visitors, a tour like this is essential. Patricia was our driver and guide. She was amazing...helpful and engaging. We took the shorter tour since it was the only one available that day. While we couldn't see all parts of the island, Patricia covered significant territory. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful it was to get the feel of Nantucket (and not just the main town). Only a tour like this can accomplish it. Finally, I'll compliment Patricia for keeping it informative and entertaining, but without anything silly. Highly recommended!

Karl, the tour guide - Karl was our driver and historian. He was extremely knowledgeable and told us a lot of interesting things. He was very personable. He even took my picture with the lighthouse in the background. The tour is well worth it and you should ask for Karl to drive you around.

Fun fact-filled tour of Nantucket! - Lots of interesting facts about the island and its history. Patricia made it fun too with her singing, great sense of humor and interacting with us. She made a picture-taking stop too at a lighthouse where we could get out for a few minutes. And she gave us a nice summary at the end.

Great tour featuring facts and a very enjoyable atmosphere. - Perfect tour to see the island of Nantucket. Our guide, Carl, was very engaged with guests on the bus. The tour was packed with great information and Carl’s ability to share the history in such a fun and delightful way. Made the trip so worthwhile. Definitely ask for Carl as your Guide.
