Summary: Comfortable van with wonderful driver/guide. Our guide, a Martha's Vineyard native, was funny, knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. Whether one is visiting the island for a day or staying longer, I highly recommend this tour. If you are there just for the day, the tour will take you to all the highlights and provides a great deal of local lore and backstories. If you are staying longer, the tour provides ideas of places you want to spend some more time at on the island. Perhaps the most amazing site, in my opinion, was the Gay Head cliffs and lighthouse. And it was the one spot where the driver stopped and gave us time to enjoy the incredible views and delightful salt air.
