Enjoyed this tour! Great tour guide! - Our driver, Stanley, made the trip memorable with his personal stories of living on the island. Although it rained the day we went, we had a wonderful time.

Get a full island history in 3 fun hours - The tour guide gave us a great amount of history. He kept it interesting and upbeat. Enjoyed the small group of 11 people. Our 2 stops gave us time to grab a snack and some souvenirs.

Amazing experience touring Martha’s Vineyard - Stan the Man gave us an exceptional tour of the island!! He was very knowledgeable because he’s been going to the island since he was a kid. He stopped various times to let us get off and explore for a couple minutes. The sights were incredible and we are so glad we took this tour to learn more about the history of the island.

Our Martha Vineyard experience - The driver/guide was excellent. She shared many interesting facts about the island. And was very accommodating for photo stops. The reservation process was easy. We had to date change without a problem. Highly recommend this tour. One suggestion, a mini bus would be a better vehicle than their van. More comfortable, less crowded for adult passengers.

HomeGrown Tour is Exceptional - Dee Dee's tour of MV was very good. The thing that stuck out was that she was born and raised on Martha's Vineyard, an Oak Bluffs resident. Dee Dee helped my wife out who stayed on the buss during tour stops. We were very thankful for that
Her narration was authentic with personal explanations and experiences with her grandfather when they were together growing up. The name of her tour business speaks for itself "HomeGrown Tours"!! Thank you Dee Dee for a terrific tour on Friday, August 1st.

Ask for De-De as your guide. 5 stars - De-de was a fabulous tour guide. Narrated the entire 3 hour tour on every topic from local history and culture, celebrity news to Jaws movie making facts. Enjoyed the stops at the fish market and cliffs. Will recommend to everyone.
