Location at Martha's Vineyard Island Oak Bluff, and unlike the other offices at Nantucket and…read moreHyannis, this office is just a one room booth (though it can fit a lot of young people at a time). I kept missing it, as it was a crowded Friday afternoon, but then later realized that it is exactly where it needs to be: fronting the entrance to the dock where the ferry leaves. We were able to change our departure (to go back to Hyannis) from 8:40 pm to an earlier 6:10 pm on Friday, and there was no charge since we did it before the original time elapsed...we just needed to show them our original invoice. Unlike the other Hy-line offices, there is no indoor seating, but plenty to pass the time since right in the middle of a busy tourist area. By taking the earlier return, it was a different crowd...more older and a lot less crowded. We got back to Hyannis in under an hour, and offloaded pretty easily. There were shuttles waiting in the nearby road (to avoid the heavy congestion in the pickup area), and we got the last two seats. We got dropped off at Lot 8 offsite in 10 minutes, and were on our way. Probably wouldn't recommend trying to see both islands on the same day, but it can be done via Hy-Line.

The staff is super relaxed and we felt very welcome the minute we stepped on board. They made us feel like we were locals. They have a fully stocked bar, several comfortable areas to sit, great views and a very smooth ride. Only reason for lack of 5 stars is the boat is a bit old. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Just not quite a five star experience.

This was the highlight of our trip to Nantucket. We did the "Bike to the Brewery" tour with Cole…read more He was a great guide, giving us lots of historical knowledge about the sites we went to. It was the perfect kind of day, not too hot and not too cold which was nice. We went to Brant Lighthouse for pictures, Steppes beach, the windmill, the oldest house, and through downtown Nantucket Town. The last stop was the Brewery, which was the perfect spot to enjoy lunch and relax. Absolutely recommend this fun excursion, and Cole was amazing! He just graduated from college, so 2017 might be his last summer working for this company, but if you can ride with Cole, it's a real treat.

I saw the old tour buses driving around, and it really didn't interests to sit on a bus and ride around. We decided in Nantucket bike tours due to the phenomenal reviews. We were not disappointed. We had Marcus as a tour guide, and it was readily apparent how much he loves history, and how excited hew as to share his wealth of knowledge. We booked the to the brewery tour, which lasted couple of hours and ended at the Cisco Brewery where there is a free shuttle back to town. The ride was listed as moderate, but coming from someone who hasn't ridden a bicycle in 10 years, I found it extremely easy. It's very slow paced, my advice is to ride towards the front so you can engage the tour guide in conversation. Plenty of stops with shade and water refills. You will not be disappointed with this tour. Bonus is no cover charge once you get to the brewery!

Very disappointing experience -- poor communication and unacceptable customer service…read more Our experience with Martha's Vineyard Excursions was disappointing enough that I believe prospective customers should know what happened before trusting an important day on the island to this company. This was a special family trip. My brother and family had flown in from North Carolina to visit, and we went to considerable lengths to plan a memorable Martha's Vineyard experience together. We traveled from Duxbury, coordinated the ferry and transportation, and arrived early for our scheduled 10:30 a.m. tour. When we arrived, three tour vans were present, but no one clearly explained which vehicle belonged to our group. We had to figure that out ourselves. It was approximately 88 degrees, sunny, hot, and humid. Our guide, Jim, was initially friendly. At about 10:25, he told us we were waiting for a passenger who was approximately 10 minutes away. At 10:35, after our scheduled departure time, we asked for an update. We were then told that we were actually waiting for two passengers and that the tour would begin when they arrived. We continued waiting. Approximately ten passengers who had arrived on time sat in the van with the air conditioning off while we waited for people who had not arrived for the scheduled departure. After another 20-25 minutes, I approached Jim and asked what was happening and why everyone who had arrived on time was still being required to wait. That is when a frustrating delay became an unacceptable customer-service experience. Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience, apologizing, or providing a meaningful update, Jim became dismissive and passive-aggressive. His response essentially communicated that he had already explained the situation and that we should stop asking, continue waiting, or leave. Several passengers were visibly frustrated, and another passenger also complained. My brother attempted to explain that Jim's treatment of customers was inappropriate, but his concerns were met with the same lack of professionalism. After more than 45 minutes of waiting, we decided to leave rather than begin what was supposed to be an enjoyable family experience under those circumstances. As we were leaving, the two passengers everyone had apparently been waiting for finally arrived. I understand that people are occasionally late. What I do not understand is requiring approximately ten customers who arrived as instructed to wait for an extended period in a hot vehicle, providing inadequate communication, and then treating them dismissively when they reasonably ask when their scheduled tour will begin. The unmistakable impression was that accommodating two significantly late passengers mattered more than honoring the time and experience of the customers who arrived on time. I spent 21 years in the military, and one lesson that has stayed with me is simple: you never know what another person has gone through to be standing in front of you. You do not know how far someone traveled, what sacrifices they made, what challenges they may be dealing with, or why a particular day with their family matters to them. That is why courtesy, communication, and basic human dignity matter. In our case, family had flown from North Carolina and we had traveled from Duxbury specifically to spend this day together. A simple apology, periodic updates, air conditioning while customers waited, and a reasonable policy for late passengers could have prevented nearly all of this. Instead, we walked away frustrated, embarrassed, exhausted, and without the experience we had carefully planned. I believe Martha's Vineyard Excursions should provide a full refund and review both its departure procedures and customer-service expectations. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Martha's Vineyard Excursions. Visitors have limited time on Martha's Vineyard, and I would strongly encourage prospective customers--especially families planning a special trip--to consider other options.
