DAVE ALTON - THE choice for a Martha's Vineyard/JAWS walkabout tour - Our Family went to the Gulf of Mexico in the summer of 1975, after JAWS was released. The beaches were empty. I finally saw the movie a few years later when I was nine. The hook was in me from then on. Fast-forward 49 years later, and we finally made it to Martha's Vineyard for an island tour. Dave Alton was the name that kept coming up in the reviews, so we requested him specifically. This Man did not disappoint, and held a master-class in private tour, movie extra and townie inside info. Every JAWS question I had was answered before I had a chance to ask. One of the best experiences I've had on vacation. Seeing the beauty of the island and all of the film locations was outstanding. If you are interested in the film, the celebrity island residents or just the beauty of the location, you will not be disappointed. Please give Dave your business. His demeanor, chivalry and attention to detail was wonderful.

Travel MV with Bart - We were traveling with a cruise line and booked the tour as an excursion. Bart was our driver. He was a wealth of information! We stopped at Gay Head Light/Cliffs and Edgartown. He told us about so many aspect of the island: from the history of the island, geological uniqueness of MV, island living, laws, culture and celebrities, farming on MV. It went so fast and was very enjoyable. Thanks Bart!

Martha's Vineyard Private Tour thumbs up - We had a great tour with Martha’s Vineyard Private 3-hour Island Tour. Our guide Dave Alton was excellent. Dave has over 50 years living on the island and was knowledgeable with the history. He also indulged us with the local scoop. The tour was exactly what we were looking for in a day trip to Martha's Vineyard.

Best tour on the island - MV Tours and Transportation accommodated our tour request the same day we called. Our tour guide, Wayne, was fabulous. He knew every detail about the island, entertained us with silly jokes and great stories throughout the time we were together. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
