Great wasy to see Martha's Vineyard - Stan, our host/tour guide, took us on a 3-hour tour of the Island, all along the way explaining the history and landmarks of the island, including some landmarks/history I don't think you would learn about unless you took this tour with Stan. We stopped at a seafood store, the cliffs, and a farmstand. It was such a great time. I would highly recommend the tour.

Can’t Miss! - My husband and I were married on a sailboat, at sunset, in Vineyard Haven. Every year,we celebrate our anniversary with a trip to Martha’s Vineyard. This year, the weather gods weren’t cooperating, so we decided to take a small bus tour.We chose well! ‘Stan the Man” was an excellent tour guide. He shared lots of interesting and historical facts about the island,as well as his own personal stories. This tour is a Must!

Very pleased - Was concerned that we might have a timing issue since the ferry was scheduled to arrive about 10:15 and the tour started at 10:30 but the bus was parked very close to where we got off the ferry. It’s a pretty congested space but I was happy to receive a call from our driver (Stan the Man!) to verify our arrival and he let us know right where he was. He was knowledgeable about the island and the van was very comfortable. I was glad we booked this tour.

Surprise birthday/ 38th wedding anniversary - Words can only give a brief description of such a wonderful tour. Our tour guide "stan", was very courteous knowledgeable and even funny at times. During our 3 hour tour, we had plenty of time to take pictures, buy snacks and souvenirs and of course bathroom breaks. Dee Dee " The owner " had taking things up a special notch by having the driver " Stan", present my wife with a bottle of wine for her birthday "as she boarded the tour bus.". Please Everyone, book this tour and Thank yourself later...you will be amazed... money well spent...

The tour bus did not show and would not refund our money!! - I booked this tour through Viator. We arrived at Martha's Vineyard at the location we were told to meet the tour bus and after sitting and waiting for over 30 minutes thinking they must just be running behind, no one showed up to pick us up. I texted and called the company numerous times and when I finally got someone to answer they said "I'm sorry, we aren't running any tours today". When I told her I had already booked and paid for the tour she said "I'm sure Viator will give you your money back". I went to Viator and they said they would confirm with the vendor that the tour didn't take place and they were told by the vendor that WE DID NOT SHOW UP!! How insulting and infuriating. Of course, I tried to reach out to the company directly hoping maybe it was just a misunderstanding and they didn't remember the call I placed for had confused us with someone else but they NEVER have returned my call. Clearly I won't get my money back buy hopefully I can help someone else from loosing theirs. There are several other tour companies that were all very helpful and sympathetic to our situation but unfortunately they were all booked for the day so we totally missed out on taking a tour all together. Very unfortunate but still had a great time during our stay- just hated that having to deal with this was how the day started.

This company is probably great; do not accept a substitute - The company we booked with had no driver. They were kind enough to offer us another company. The driver there was very knowledgeable, but mumbled and was monotone for the whole 2.5 hours. I was so relieved when it was done.
