The meeting time was super early and the day was too long for what it was seen. I believe this tour needs to be split into the people that tour the island on its own vs the one taking the additional tour of the island. There was a lot waiting time after the island tour which I assume was given to those touring the island on its own (as they needed to take public transportation to get to places). Not worth the money. The island is not that interesting and there was not much to do near the ferry station after the island tour was completed. There were other ferries I could have taken and get back to Boston earlier. I would not recommend this tour at all. A very long expensive day to see very little. In addition, while tips are appreciated and are not mandatory, the signs on the buses give you a guilt trip as they state that "tips are a big part of the tour guides income". This was an expensive tour, you should pay your drivers and tour guides better so they don't rely on tips to make a decent income.

Thank you for your review. I am not sure exactly what you do for a living but I am sure that you know alot more about it than I do.. We have been Boston's #1 Day trip service to the island since we began our operation in 2011. Although you are certainly entitled to your opinion, your assumptions are incorrect.

The transportation and tour guides were great. Funny and shred really great information. Also appreciated the personal experience stories. I wish I had not waited until late October to do this, because some of the business on the island had already closed for the season - but that’s on me.

Thank you for your GREAT 5 Star review of our Martha's Vineyard Day trip from Boston. I am glad that you enjoyed your time with our guides and your day on the island. We do close for the season on October 30th because as you described many businesses choose to close. Though that doesn't mean that you can't have an enjoyable day. Thanks for sharing. Kind Regards, Stephen M. Belcastro President New England Trips Inc.
