Overall loved the tour and would recommend! Great way to explore the island. The only issue is the navigations. When we made a wrong turn we lost track of the audio and kept having to restart.

Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and provide feedback on the navigation. The audio will pick up again as soon as you are back on track, you don't have to restart from the beginning. That being said, we are going to be releasing an improvement soon that will continue to navigate even if you fall off track. Thanks again!

Finally took the high speed ferry with the Steamship Authority from Hyannis to Nantucket for a day trip. We decided to take our bikes so we could see more of island. We parked in a nearby lot so were able to ride out bikes right to pier. Check in super easy. They ask those with bikes to line up in different location as they are loaded in bottom of boat with luggage. The only thing we didn’t care for was that they don’t put bikes in self standing bike rack so basically pile bikes next to the others and since ours were first in, the potential for damage (scratches esp.) to your bike is high. Ferry ride very smooth and one can sit inside or outside, and they even have plugs by some seats for charging phones and numerous restrooms. After we got bikes we tried navigating the downtown area and found that with the narrow bumpy cobblestone streets, and hundreds of other visitors, it was nearly impossible to ride bikes, so had to basically walk our bikes out of downtown area to get to streets where we could safely ride. After that we found some paved streets that we could rode to some of the bike trails to explore the island. Rode mostly on north side of island past fabulous homes and beaches. Next trip we will explore southern coast. Lots of expensive shopping and restaurants in downtown area. Visited the Whaling museum which has fair amount of history about Nantucket. Loved their rooftop area where you have fantastic views of harbor. Public Restrooms in downtown area at numerous spots. Visiting in September just after Labor Day still hectic but pleasant. We will definitely make a return trip and maybe stay at one of the many quaint inns.
