A once in a life experience - On our trip to Equador we were very lucky to have Stalin Ona as our guide. He accompanied us from Quito to the Chimborazo and back. No matter what aspect of the trip it was, our well-being was always his top priority. He never tired to share his wide knowledge with us about the history, volcanology, flora and fauna, the various places we visited, the rich culture. We especially appreciated his warmheartedness.

Martha's Vineyard is a Must! - We loved the history, the beauty, and all else about Martha's Vineyard. A very nice tour. Our driver Brian was engaging and accommodating if we need time for stops for the long bus ride to the ferry. He also shared information along the way. Our island tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the island. He lives on a farm in the island and his family has lived there since the 1700's.

Yaw - I had never been before loved the ferry. I wanted to go to jaws sight but this was not included in tour. My fault for not reading the brochure ell enough and shops were typical for touristy area. Food fair and decent prices, the arcade was great while waiting for return ferry,

Too expensive-Taken advantage of! - 7 days. Peak leaves -Everything overpriced! Hit us with $30 a day tolls,$30 a day car ins as they said ours won't cover. Hotels mostly $350-600 a night. Parking $25-30, lobster from $65 ea up and everywhere sweatshirts $60-$80! We won't go back. All in all cost us approx $4000. Talked into switching from Martha's vineyard to Nantucket. Boat ride for 2 round trip $190! Nice island but it's shop or eat. All too expensive-So we won't go back, but enjoyed our trip but feel raped!

Tour Guide Non-Appropriate - Tour guide repeated himself and told stories that were very disturbing and prejudicial. Very rude...

Not much to see - Not much to see on Martha's Vineyard. Best part of the tour was the shuttle driver to and from the ferry. It's a 2 hour drive from Boston to Woods Hole and our guide, Johnny Boston was both entertaining and informative. He helped the time pass quickly. Unfortunately once we got off the ferry the island itself was a big letdown. There is one scenic view, the Aquinnah Cliffs and lighthouse. Other than that it mostly looking at tree lined gravel drive ways that lead to unseen mansions of famous rich people and expensive boutiques in unremarkable small towns. There is a long rather boring beach where Jaws was filmed.
