Book you will not be disappointed,,,,👍 A VERY BIG THANKYOU TO RORY,,,Written September 9, 2024
- erinkX7635CT0 contributionsFun family tripMatt was great, knowledgeable and fun. The trolly tour was great and a good way to see the town. The salem witch museum was just ok and maybe not the best for small children. House of seven gables was excellent. I do wish we had more time to shop and walk around on our own.Written September 5, 2024
- Curious506799312890 contributionsGreat time!Matt did a great job getting our group from spot to spot. He had a lot of knowledge about Boston and Salem. The trolley tour, Witch Museum and House of Seven Gables were great. I honestly enjoyed the house of seven Gables more than I thought I would. Only complaint was that the seats on the trolley were way too small.Written September 5, 2024
- jonathon k0 contributionsGreat tour and a must doMatt did a great job he told our itinerary and stuck to and when there was a change he communicated it. He also has great suggestions for place to eat wether it be in Salem or in Boston.Written September 2, 2024
- Nomad085277153680 contributionsRory was great!Rory was a great tour guide, and I'm so glad we went with him! He was very knowledgeable of the entire New England area, and his delivery was very personable and friendly! Also loved that he came to us and picked up at our Motel!Written September 1, 2024
- T6076WXbettyb0 contributionsGreat tour!We highly recommend the Martha's Vineyard Day Trip and Island tour from Boston. We had a wonderful and interesting experience with our two excellent guides, Rory and Sue.Written August 30, 2024
- Evelyn V0 contributionsA day on the islandThe tour had great tidbits of information and the drivers were quite knowledgeable about the history. It was a bit rushed so an extra 30 minutes on the driving tour would have been goodWritten August 29, 2024
- L2456AZsuzanneg0 contributionsDisappointedBooked this tour 3 weeks prior. Tour was cancelled afternoon before tour day. Waiting for refund. Ended up having to get to Salem on my own.Written August 28, 2024
- Rich30550 contributionsEnjoyable but a long day of sittingGenerally, it was an enjoyable excursion. The tour operator did a good job of communicating where to be when. Pick up at the hotel was very convenient. Matt was a good guide; knowledgeable and funny. He kept us entertained and engaged for the 90 minutes it took to get to the Woods Hole ferry. The ferry was slow and a bit confusing if you’ve never been on it. You board on one side and disembark on the opposite side, which was a problem when we sat on the wrong side and large groups of slow moving people were between us and the exit. The tour operator on Martha’s Vineyard did a good job communicating where to meet up after getting off the ferry; although some were looking for a sign and didn’t check their phones for a message from the guide. Jim was a very knowledgeable guide, but gave a lot of minute details that caused me to fade in and out. So I didn’t catch a lot of what he said. He clearly knows a lot about Martha’s Vineyard and he did a good job getting us around the island. We stopped for a few minutes at a couple of spots, but spent most of the time riding in a van. We were disappointed to learn after the fact that John Belushi is buried on the island and we drove right by his grave, but Jim made no mention of it. Or maybe he did and I just faded out during that part. Martha’s Vineyard was not what I expected and it was very crowded in spots. The beaches were narrow and there were no waves. The coastal views were nice but we spent a fair amount of time driving across the island so we didn’t get a lot of those coastal views. I didn’t really see the appeal of Martha’s Vineyard. It was okay, but i don’t have any desire to go back. The return trip back to Boston was good. Matt did his best to make it as comfortable as possible. There was a huge traffic jam that he was able to avoid, which was much appreciated after a long day of riding around in cramped vans. Matt had tons of restaurant recommendations for downtown Boston and that was a huge help. I would certainly consider New England Excursions in the future but I wouldn’t go back to Martha’s Vineyard; unless I happened to be in or around Cape Cod and had nothing better to do that day 😉.Written August 28, 2024

- siempre_viajando_810 contributionsMartha's Vineyard day tour was awesome!A friend and I took the Martha's Vineyard day trip with New England Excursions and had a wonderful time! Our driver was Rory and he was a very safe driver and very knowledgeable about the Boston and Cape Cod areas. We did not take the optional island tour, just explored Oak Bluffs on our own, but had a wonderful time and appreciated that this tour gave us the opportunity to explore Martha's Vineyard while visiting Boston. I also emailed New England Excursions with some questions before the trip and their responses were super fast and helpful, which I also appreciated! I would definitely recommend this company and this tour.Written July 29, 2024

We had Matt as our tour guide. He’s not only knowledgeable and friendly, but funny and quick witted. If you haven’t seen the Maine coast, it’s nothing short of spectacular. We drove along the coast of NH and Maine with quick stops at the Nubble Lighthouse and Walker Point for pictures. Both of those places are incredible to see. We also liked the breakfast stop in the town Portsmouth, NH and lunch/shopping in Kennebunkport, ME. All in all an enjoyable day. Highly Recommend.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the great review. We had an awesome time yesterday on our excursion up the New Hampshire and Maine coast. I hope to see you guys next time you’re in town for either Martha’s Vineyard or a fall foliage day trip. Enjoy Salem, and safe travels back home.

Our driver/tour guide was a bit technology challenged. We got lost a few times and had to modify the trip. Also the lobster tour was cancelled at the last minute. But we did get to see a lighthouse, Kenebunkport and the Bush compound.

The trip was great and highly recommended however maybe worthwhile contacting the tour operator the day before as he had no record of our trip advisor booking and would have been left behind without a last minute phone call.
Matt was very informative and we had plenty time to enjoy each stop, Stunning scenery all along the way.

Our guide, Matt, was a few minutes early, which is super professional! He was so friendly and all of his answers and what he shared was extremely informative. Matt is a very patient guide and picks up his train of thought right away when he had to stop his story for something. He created a very relaxed atmosphere and discussed with us the amount of times we wanted to spend at a certain place, which added the feeling of inclusivity. Would 100% do this tour again and would highly recommend these tours with New England Excursions!
