Dave Alton was our tour guide/driver. He was so knowledgeable about Martha's Vineyard, the residents, historical events. He was patient and advised us where to buy what, like clothes, and food. He could lose the cuss words.

Had a wonderful time with Dave as our guide. The tour was just the right amount of history, culture and local gossip related to Martha’s Vineyard. Interesting to have a perspective from someone who had lived on the island for more than 40 years. Highly recommend this tour.
