Traveler Reviews

The float ride over was not good. We got soaked with the high waves. Nothing was open when we got there. Summer season was over. The bus trip was not good. Very foggy and nothing to see but trees. Not a good time of the year. Sorry to say!

Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful place to visit! Transportation was on time, and clean. Élane (our driver from Boston to Cape Cod ) was excellent and so knowledgeable. Her facts were interesting and accurately presented in an organized manner.

We had a great day. Early pickup at our hotel, nice bus ride over to the ferry. Our driver, I don’t remember her name, had a wonderful voice perfect for sharing history of Boston. The ride over was about 1.5 hours but we stopped at a rest stop about 30 minutes in for bathroom and food (since we left so early). The ferry over was a nice ride. We quickly picked up our island tour bus (highly recommend this add on). It’s 3 hours and you go through all six towns on the island stopping at two for site seeing and a little shopping time. The drive and towns were charming. The tour guide talked a little fast but we did get some fun fact—that wasn’t the highlight. After the bus tour, we returned to the town that the ferry came in on. We had a delicious lunch at the black dog cafe snd the service was fast and friendly. We had about 2.5 hours after that bus tour for lunch and more shopping or a stroll. The shops were upscale with just a few tourist shops for tshirts and the l

Bus driver was very knowledgeable. He gave numerous tips. Everything ran on time and was well scheduled. Would go again and get the island tour too.

Great bus driver who picked us up at hotel.. she was knowledgeable and courteous. Couldn't really understand the tour guide on the island itself. Heavy accent
