Great experience! - Great tour with Delores! She took us to all the local spots around the island, beautiful photo ops, and shared lots of great and interesting stories. It was my daughter’s first visit and she made it very memorable. Thanks so much!!

Accessible tour was great! - Our experience with Dee Dee was wonderful. My daughter and her friend have special needs…they are both wheelchair bound and are medically fragile. Dee Dee was so accommodating, and corresponded with us frequently to make sure that the tour would be accessible for them. We had a great tour of the island! Dee Dee was very personable and seemed to care very much that things would work out and the girls would be able to see MV. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour - Our guide /driver was excellent. DeeDee is a third generation Vineyard resident which makes her a knower of the history and the antidotal stories of the island. She is knowledgeable, entertaining and interesting. I certainly recommend this tour.

All Island Tour with Dee Dee - Great personal care taken by Dee Dee for all her passengers. She greeted us as if we were old friends. She went still further to serve us by returning my wife’s handbag that was mistakenly left on tour bus. She drove to NCL tender site to personally deliver the handbag. Dee Dee is Home Grown Tours most valuable asset. Roy and Janet Crumly

Great tour - We thoroughly enjoyed the Island tour led by Dee Dee. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate a last minute booking for my husband and I, offering us the last 2 seats available. I’m so glad that we made it, as the tour did not disappoint. Our favorite stop was at the Aquinnah Cliffs. It was truly breathtaking. I highly recommend the All Island Bus Tour on your MV vacation.

Cancelled and let down, no refund provided - Appalling. Our tour was cancelled at the very last minute without notice when we had already taken the ferry across to the Island for the tour. We were put on another tour which was on a larger bus but it was not a historical tour, and was an hour shorter with only one stop. I have been chasing for a refund but they will not provide one. Very disappointed.
