Cape Cod Old Kings Highway Self Guided Scenic Audio Driving Tour

All the sites were very interesting and misc background information was insightful. However, the app had issues keeping track of our driving location and didn’t give enough prior notice of a turn, sometimes interrupting the ongoing background information with a ‘turn now’ command … resulting in missing the turn for the site.

Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided Driving & Walking Audio Tour
Road trip
The tour was very good covering multiple areas of the island. Giving historical and relevant info along the way. At times the visual map lagged behind the current location so turn instructions were a bit confusing

Martha's Vineyard Private 4 hour Tour for groups up to 6 people
Matt Taylor was an outstanding tour guide!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our private Martha’s Vineyard tour! From start to finish, everything was seamless, relaxed, and so much fun! Having a private tour for our group of six was the perfect way to see the island without feeling rushed or having to follow a large group. Matt Taylor was an absolutely perfect guide - a very knowledgeable native, friendly, and clearly passionate about Martha’s Vineyard. We saw so much of the island and got to experience places and views we would have never found on our own. The tour was the perfect mix of beautiful scenery, interesting history, local insight, and plenty of time to enjoy each stop. What we loved most was the flexibility and personal attention. We could ask questions, take our time, and really enjoy the experience rather than constantly watching the clock. It felt like we were being shown around by a friend who knew all the best spots! If you’re visiting Martha’s Vineyard for the first time, I highly recommend this tour. It was honestly one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely do it again. Five stars all around!
