Wonderful experience! Jenny our shuttle driver was funny, knowledgeable, and nice! Tom was our guide through Martha’s Vineyard. He was so informative, providing wonderful history and interesting facts about the area. What a beautiful place! Thanks, so much!

Our driver Jennifer was fabulous! Funny, entertaining, & informative! She was the best. Tom, our guide on the 3 hour island tour was also amazing. He provided so much history & made the day so enjoyable! Highly recommend this excursion & a great value.

Long full day but very worth it - lots to see and great back stories. Tid bits about the Jaws movie filming locations and other history was valuable. Time to explore on your own at each stop. Great weather helped.

Definitely worth doing and taking the guided tour. Not sure how else you will be able to get around the island.

Excellent from start to finish. Incredible guide in Tom.
