Craig was professional and shared history as well as many facts about the Vineyard. His recommendations for activities were greatl! Were able to see much of the island in three hours and not rushed. Early September was a good time to avoid the crowds and only a few places had closed for the season.

Our first trip to the Vineyard

Jessica_E, Aug 2025
My family and I traveled to the vineyard, as my mom has always wanted to go. Craig was wonderful. The experience was personal, Craig was very knowledgeable about the different parts of the island and was very accomadating, as we had a toddler with us and my parents are seniors. It was a great experience that I would say, highly recommend!

Informative

We were picked up by Craig and we were whisk away to a great day of adventures. Craig was THE BEST. His knowledge & experience of Martha’s V was entertaining and informative. He truly couldn’t possibly have provided us a better day.

Craig was an incredible guide that provided detailed information about the history and current state of the island.

George_A, Jul 2022
The entire tour was very enjoyable in learning about the history of the island and seeing it’s beautiful sights and landmarks

Awesome tour for a trip to the Vineyard.

Michael_O, Jun 2022
Craig did an awesome job on this tour. We got to the island early and we started early and he showed us the whole island. He was understanding as we had 10/7/3 year old in the car and gave us opportunities to get out and stretch our legs and showed us places on the island that I think the larger bus tours are too big to get into. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the island to book Craig for a private tour of the Vineyard!

Response from Host, Jun 2022
