Great experience with Dave Alton - Dave Alton gave us a great tour of the entire island. Included stops at key sites and time to explore. He had a monologue of the history of the island up to the present day that was very interesting.

Wonderful and entertaining tour with Dave Alton - Dave Alton was our tour guide and driver and was such a wonderful storyteller. As a longtime resident of Martha's Vineyard, he was incredibly knowledgeable and made for an entertaining three hours touring and learning about MV. Would highly recommend this particular tour and Dave Alton!

The best way to tour Martha’s Vineyard! - We only had one full day on MV so we decided to do a private tour. Our concierge at Harbor View Hotel set us up with Martha’s Vineyard Tours and Transportation and Cheryl was our driver/tour guide. Cheryl was outstanding! She’s a 5th generation MV resident, so she was able to tell us all about the history and life of MV, including fun stories about daily life on MV. We covered the entire island with interesting stops along the way. This was the perfect way for us to spend time on MV and we can 100% recommend Cheryl and MV Tours and Transportation!

Sam's Tour - Guide Sam, what a man. Knows everything about everywhere on the island and the history behind individual old houses. Asked us what sort of things we were and were not interested in, personalised the stops and chat accordingly to the best stops, views and photo opportunities and, where to go for home baking from a stone oven. Get a scone!

Dave Alton - The Best Jaws/History Tour Guide Around! - My family decided to do the Jaws tour while on the Vineyard. When we heard we had the chance to ride along with an actual extra from the movie, it was a no-brainer. On top of being an outgoing and friendly host, Dave had firsthand knowledge on much of the movie's production and stories only he/the cast would know. Truly incredible to get to see the sites and hear his stories along the way. The tour wasn't limited to just Jaws either...Dave laid everything out from historic pop culture sites + vast political history of the island. Thanks again for making it such a great ride. Highly recommend!
