Review of the Boston to Martha’s Vineyard day trip, with ferry views, free island time, an optional narrated tour, and practical booking tips.
“If I had the option I would give 3 1/2 stars. It is a FULL DAY TOUR! 2 1/2 hours to the ferry and same time getting back from the ferry is the worse part, but not horrible. Once on the ferry and getting to the island is enjoyable and scenic. We opted for the guided tour and Tom was an encyclopedia of the history and culture of the island. Tour is a thorough view of basically the entire island and towns. Not a lot of WOW moments but a few interesting facts and some nice views.”

See San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Alcatraz in one day with local guides, photo stops, ferry tickets, and comfortable minibus travel.
“We enjoyed the tour but we were not informed of Muir Woods being closed until we boarded for the tour. Instead, our driver, who was great, drove us around to ransom spots (one of which we visited on our own the previous day) and a creepy alley was part of the tour (graffiti). He did his best but too bad they didn’t just take us all to Alcatraz or a place more interesting than all of the little odd places.”
Pick a skyline, a canyon or a coastline.
