“Our tour was supposed to start at 11:00 am but was delayed. Apparently the original tour guide didn’t make it to work that day. However, it was worth the delay because the replacement guide was the bomb! She knew sooo much history and details, our 2.5 hour tour was over before we knew it. Such a great experience and definitely a recommended tour.”

Review of the Boston to Martha’s Vineyard day trip, including the ferry, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, Aquinnah, timing, value, and practical tips.
“This is not a good trip to take. The bus ride from Boston to the ferry was fantastic. Once on Island, you board an old, beat up white school bus with uncomfortable seats, small windows, with no ability to see where you’re at. It was extremely difficult to understand our Jamaican tour guide and you are rushed around the island. I do not recommend this tour.”

“This was our first time in Boston, and we were looking for a great way to absorb and explore all the history it has to offer. Despite windy conditions, and colder temps, our tour guide, Katherine, was amazing and tied history, with some comedy, throughout our entire experience. It was great! Would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about Boston’s history, while exploring the freedom trail.”
