James was a great tour guide. I don't know how he keeps all that history in his head. Educational,…read morea comfortable ride, and a complete view of the island. We made a couple of stops which were very enjoyable. We would have liked a bit of time in Edgartown also but enjoyed the drive through so now we know we want to go back. Very convenient picking up the tour from the ferry.

Craig was great today. We wanted to see and hear personal stories as well as some history, and we…read morereceived that and more. He regaled us with 38 years of experiences as we made our way to and from the cliffs of Aquinnah (Go. It's beautiful and reminds us of the majesty of nature.) We asked all our questions, got every question answered and laughed and sang with Craig on the way back. The last time I was here, I did the African American history group tour, and it was pretty good. This tour was better because it was a private tour. I would recommend Craig's private tour for anyone.

This tour of Martha's Vineyard is amazing. In about three hours, we got an interesting glimpses and…read moreexperiences on the island. Our tour guide, Stan, gave an interesting & informative presentation of the island's history and qualities. He's lived on the island from childhood & brings many personal insights of the island and its inhabitants. Stan's the Man! Dee-Dee of HomeGrown Tours was superbly helpful when she contacted us about a need to reschedule our tour for earlier in the day. She asked how we were getting to the island and shared a much better way to get to Oak Bluffs. Very glad she went the extra effort to make our trip more enjoyable. Among the stops on the tour were Menemsha where we enjoyed seafood soup samples & had seafood sandwiches from Menemsha Fish Market. The stop at Aqinnah (Gay Head) Cliffs was stunning with the views of the ocean, beaches below, multicoloured cliffs, and a lighthouse. Another memorable stop was at Orange Peel Bakery. Oh, what trip on Martha's Vineyard wouldn't mention Jaws filming sites. Stan pointed out several of the key locations, including "the Jaws Bridge", providing back stories about the filming. I highly recommend HomeGrown Tours.

I made a few phone calls and Deedee arranged to meet us for an afternoon tour. She is a very enthusiastic MV host. We got a fun tour of things you would expect and some you would not. The narration, history and stories of local life were non-stop. We had a great time. She really is a pleasure to work with and saved the day for us. Give Deedee a call if you are planning a trip to MVI.
