Martha’s Vineyard
It was a nice drive back and forth. It was a little bit pricey but I don’t want the hassle of driving there. Pan had water and snacks for all of us

This trip is a long day,...
This trip is a long day, 12 hours. Definitely book the 3 hour optional tour of Martha’s Vineyard which was great. Only problem was when we wanted to pay our driver only had PayPal available or cash. We wanted to pay by credit card but he didn’t have the facility to do this. Otherwise a great day and a very professional driver Willy was very helpful. It was a great day out not to be missed.
