Perfect For Day Trippers - We took our first-ever trip to MV on the Fast Ferry from RI and thought the three hour tour would be a great way to see the island. We were not disappointed. Sam, our guide, had a wealth of knowledge about the island, not just the places but the people and history. Most of the tour was in the van driving around the entire island (it's bigger than I thought) but there was one stop at Gay Head/Aquinnah that was an opportunity for some photos. Highly recommend this tour if you want to get a taste of the island.

Martha's Tour - The directions to the statue were confusing to find meeting place at statue. A simple direction would be - exit Hyline Ferry - go across street and up the hill to the water and turn right until you run into the statue and restrooms. The directions given were to follow red line to yellow circle - DID NOT exist. Other than the directions - we had a fantastic day on our three hour tour with Ken. He did a great job chauffering us around on Martha's Vineyard Island tour. There were six of us on the tour with Ken. The van was very nice and accommodating. Ken was a great tour guid. He had a wealth of information and history about the island on the tour. We would highly recommend this tour.

Perfect way to see most of the Island - Matt was our guide. We toured the whole island. He knows a lot of facts. Only one stop though and that is the Cliffs in Aquinnah. I was hoping we would stop in Mnemsha in Chillmark but maybe because of the unavailabilty of parking, we were unable to do so. Otherwise, a great way to see the island. There is no way I could’ve done it on my own.

Tour is not worth the cost… - The positives about this tour is that you are in an air conditioned van that was clean and comfortable, the tour guide was friendly and accommodating and we did stop at the highest point in Aquinnah for pics as it was so beautiful. The negatives are that it’s a really expensive tour that offers very little history of the island. You spend three hours in the vehicle with very few points of interest, 95% of the time you are quickly driving by everything, it would have been nice to stop in Edgartown - the other most populated area on MV to get a pedestrian vibe of the area. You would get more from reading Wikipedia than this tour. Would not recommend.
