Christine was a great tour guide and personal chauffeur. It was a very hot day and she made herself available for a quick pick-up when the heat got too much for anyone. It was a small group with Covid going on so she catered to our groups preferences and substituted other attractions for the advertized activities that where closed. Great job!

I spent three hours touring Martha's Vineyard in a private van with Donna as my driver/guide. It was a delightful afternoon, and I am so happy I took the tour today. The sun was shining the whole day, and Donna enhanced the trip by offering all kinds of historical information along the way and in all the places we visited. It was great to be with a long-time local, as Donna filled me in with details that perhaps I would not have experienced with someone else. Again, a delightful afternoon.....Thank you!

Very informative but wish we could have time for more questions and answers. But she was thorough and enjoyed it. Can someone contact me so I can tip her? Unfortunately we didn't have cash and I couldn't find her in Venmo. Her tip is well deserved and I whirls really like to give it to her
