Wonderful Tour - Wonderful tour. I prefer small tours as opposed to the large tour buses. This tour was perfect. There were six of us and 4 other people. Our tour guide, Stan, was great. He grew up on Martha's Vineyard - he knew the history and shared personal stories and experiences. You really get a feel for the lifestyle and heritage of the island. Highly recommend!

Best tour ever!! - David was a very knowledgeable guide and provided many personal antidotes that entertained us. The video screen presentations added a lot of clarity to his storytelling. The references to the movie Jaws and his personal experiences gave us insight into the movie and makes us want to watch it again. One of our best tours ever!!

Wonderful tour of Martha’s Vineyard - Two friends and I took this tour. David Stephens was our guide and we had a wonderful time. David was very knowledgeable about the island, having lived there most of his life. We visited the different towns on the island and David was able to point various points of interest. He also gave us some background on the making of “Jaws” which was filmed on the island. Although we picked the tour in Oaks Bluff, David was kind enough to take us back to Vineyard Haven where we could take the ferry back to the Cape. All in all it was a great experience!!

Great day out - Took the bus trip around Martha’s Vineyard and it turned out to be a wonderful experience from start to finish. The bus itself was very easy to spot at the pickup point, which made the beginning of the trip smooth and stress-free. Boarding was well organized, and the whole process felt relaxed and welcoming. Throughout the journey, the driver/ guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. They shared interesting facts and stories about the island, its history, and the different towns we visited. The commentary was informative without feeling overwhelming, which made the ride both educational and enjoyable. One of the highlights of the trip was the time we were given at each stop. There was plenty of opportunity to get off the bus, explore the areas, take photos. The bus itself was comfortable, and the overall organization of the trip made everything easy to follow. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable day. The combination of a well-organized tour, interesting information, and fun stops along the way made this Martha’s Vineyard bus trip a great way to see the island. I would definitely recommend it.

Jaws Be Gone!!! - We did travel through 5 cities. Minimal history given on Martha’s Vineyard. There was too much talking about Haws movie. Expected to see more beautiful cottages.

Poor communication and terrible customer experience. - Booked this tour weeks in advance and extended our New England trip just for this tour. Received multiple confirmations for the tour leading up to actual date. Credit card was charged for the tour. Was contacted the morning of the tour (never before) as we were just about to leave the hotel for the tour via text by tour operators saying they were canceling….. only give me the option to pay significantly more for a “private” option only. Terrible customer experience.
