Patricia was a wonderful guide - interacting with us all along the way as she shared local knowledge. It was fun to take her pop quiz!
Chris was fabulous to book us last minute and made the arrangements simple.
The bus was immaculate and very comfortable.
Highly recommend if you would like to see and experience Nantucket outside of Town!

Wilber the Great was very informative. We learned new things about the island and history. We visited 1 lighthouse

It was a nice little tour. Patricia was very knowledgeable & entertaining. The van had tinted windows which made it hard to see out

Ronald (aka. Mr. Pumpernickel) WAS THE TOUR. He was funny and full of history and information. This the kind of person your want to be around

Very good tour. The driver/guide was excellent... I would rate him 12 out of 10.
Has been doing this for years and just knows everything. Never boring and a most enjoyable experience. I rate Nantucket as much better than Marthas Vineyard. Had a great lunch after at Brotherhood of Thieves on Nantucket.
