    Today, my Sands and I toured with Homegrown Tours to explore Martha's Vineyard. Our tour guide, Devin, was patient knowledgeable, kind, and personable. We learned so much about Martha's Vineyard. We laughed, asked questions, and are now experts on Martha's Vineyard, well sort of. Thanks Devin for helping my Sands and me celebrate 35 years of sisterhood in Delta Sigma Theta!

    We arrived to the island hoping to catch a bus tour with no luck. The woman at the information booth passed a card to us for Deedee with Homegrown tours. It was a huge blessing! Deedee was able to do a private tour for the 4 of us. She drove us to each town and told us the history, personal stories, and stories of each area. She talked about jaws, showed the locations and added in her own personal memories of it being filmed when she was little. We made various stops around the island to explore and take pictures. She pulled off at the orange peel bakery. We were able to meet the local owner who baked her own pizzas and goods in a wood fire oven. Wonderful tour! So thankful we were put in touch with DeeDee, she saved our Martha's Vineyard trip!

    I would say it's good but not great. Mac, our guide was knowledgeable and personable but was a…read morelittle dry in presenting it. I will give him credit too, because we encountered a lot of bad drivers and he kept his composure, when I probably wouldn't have. The tour is nice, but not something I can give 5 stars to. Nothing was necessarily wrong or bad about it, it just didn't quite pop with me. A lot of what is presented his classroom type stuff. Mileage may vary, but for me this was more a 'B' tour if we were using school grades.

    I wrote a review a couple days ago and the owner responded with a nasty comment, thus proving I was…read moreright about their customer service. They also tried to say I wasn't on their tour, so I am posting proof here that it was their tour I was on for sure, (assuming I can post a photo of their email when I get done with this part.) Here is the review: "Tour was just okay. We didn't stop at things people clearly wanted to stop at and there was a lot that no one cared about. The driver (my wife said his name was Richard) was anxious to get through the tour because there was so much to see in 3 hours... I'm like, okay then let's stop at the stuff people want to take pics of and blow off the rest of this crap. He also zoomed by and barely slowed down long enough to take a photo of something other than the back of the hand of the person sitting in front of you... the hand that was still there because they didn't have time to take a pic either. The driver also talked about Obama and Clinton the ENTIRE tour. I lost count at 8 stories. (This is not an exaggeration.) (Owner denied this could be true... ask anyone else who was on this tour... and I'm sure he uses these stories consistently.) I'm not a staunch anti-dem, but this was simply ridiculous. If Obama ever comes to a sudden stop this guy's head will end up mid-colon or so. Surgery might be necessary. Anyway, I would try a different one if I were you. Tries to pack in too much." (Owner also said they never wanted me to book with them again... lol, pretty sure I wasn't going to?)

    A very mixed experience. I was supposed to go on a 2:30 trolley tour. However, it got cancelled…read morethe night before. I didn't realize it until I showed up for it and they said they reached out to me. Sure enough they did, but it was in the body of an email sent the night before. The subject line of the email said, 'Conformation Downtown Edgartown Tour...'. So I assumed it was like the 2 other emails I got confirming the tour and didn't read/click through it. Now, I'll take some of the blame for not reading the body of the email, but you'd think if they were cancelling it would be in the subject line or view text or phone. Anyway, I got a $5 refund and did a different tour later in the day that ended up being virtually identical to the tour I did with another company earlier in the day. Not their fault, and in hindsight, I probably should've just taken the full refund. Anthony, the guide was great. Very fun and has an infectious personality. Much more upbeat than the other tour I did. The bus was very loud and probably needs new brakes based on all the squealing whenever we slowed down. All told, this is probably more of a 3.5 star review, but alas, yelp doesn't allow half stars and I'm bumping it up to 4 because of how great Anthony was, although I really should be giving a 3 star review. And although it was part of what made him so fun, Anthony probably shouldn't be using a pointing stick while he's driving. Edit- forgot to mention too the tour was closer to 2 hours than 2.5. And again, I really should be giving 3, but Anthony was so good that I'll still give them 4.

    It was a fun time. The driver was entertaining, and it was a great way to see the island in a few…read morehours. Only thing I'd suggest is a bit longer at the stop by the lighthouse. There's a few cute shops, bathrooms, an awesome view and a lighthouse. Not quite enough time to do it all!
