This tour is fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Martha's Vineyard. It was so easy to use, and the information provided was really interesting! My only criticism was that it was a big battery drain, especially as I was using the camera on my phone as well as the tour. Totally wouldn't have been an issue if I'd remembered my charger, but the tour was so good that having a flat battery at the end was worth it!!

Highly recommend this tour! The narrator had a great voice! Lots of historical information. It's not too short or too long - the perfect length. It was a beautiful fall day so the streets were not too crowded. But you could stop the tour if you needed more time to take pictures, or to get to the tour stops and you could easily replay if you missed anything. The app had a link to maps which was super easy to follow. Do not miss the view from the top of the Chappy Ferry terminal! It is spectacular!!

The tour was very informative (I enjoyed the narrator's voice). Directions were very clear and easy to navigate the streets. We went in October and it wasn't very crowded, but I can see how it might be more difficult to get around in the summer months. Highly recommend taking this easy and not too long tour!
