Since I’d never been to Martha’s Vineyard before, we thought this would be the trip to do it. Overall, it was only ok because there was a lot of fog. The cost for my wife and I was $261 but since the ferry ride was $44 and the optional island tour was $80, this meant the bus ride from Boston to Falmouth (ferry to Martha’s Vineyard) was $137 which seemed expensive even though the ride was an hour+. The bus ride was not entirely narrated with continual information; maybe only 15-20 minutes in all each way. Once at Martha’s Vineyard, Tom was our driver and narrator on the island tour who did a fantastic job primarily because he grew up there and still lives there. The optional 3 hour island tour is a must otherwise you have to make your own plans on how to utilize the 6 hours there. Tom was extremely informative, which made the ride around the island worthwhile since there are constantly trees on the roadside preventing anything to see except when stopping at each of the six cities. All in all, one really has to stay there for several nights to enjoy the beaches and see what is beyond the roadside trees, that one does not see if just doing a bus tour. Visiting Martha’s Vineyard is not something I would do again. Maybe it’s really a place for the rich people to visit and get away to.

Thank you for the review. I apologize for the fog! I wish every day was sunny and beautiful but that is not the case here in New England. In my opinion $137 for 2 which means $68.50 per person round trip which in turn means $34.25 for over a 70 mile drive one way with commentary, snacks, bottled water and an island guide book is certainly not expensive. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed Tom's tour and I am sorry that trees got in your way. Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful place for all to enjoy either by spending a few nights or taking a day trip.Thank you again for sharing your opinion.
Sincerely,
