We enjoyed the rich history of the island. It was shocking to learn that there are no vineyards, few grapes and no wine ever produced!

A fun and informative experience; really well done! Being from the U.K., we felt a little bit ‘got at’ (ha ha), but managed to hold our own!

Pickup at hotel was on time 6:15AM. Return ran into significant traffic (due to forecast of storm). We returned to hotel 7PM. Enjoyed most was Island tour option, and island's history commentaries by island's bus driver. Caveat, there is no covered waiting area and very little sitting benches for Island Queen Ferry boarding/waiting area at Martha's Vineyard dock. For our tour, on return we stood waiting more than an hour in hot sun on September 14, 2023. Alas, I left my cap at hotel and we brought only one umbrella for 4 people.

Thank you for the 4 Star review of our Martha's Vineyard Day trip from Boston. I am glad that you enjoyed your island tour. I am not exactly sure why you stood anywhere for an hour as we advise you to get back to the ferry boarding area 15 minutes before departure. You must have walked by a hundred shops where you could have purchased a new cap if you wanted. I hope that you didn't get a sunburn. Thanks for sharing your experience. Kind Regards, Stephen M.
