Steve and his team went out of their way to help my wife and her mother have an easy and fun trip to Martha's Vineyard. I searched for ways for my wife to fly into Boston, travel to Marth's Vineyard, stay a few days, and then travel back to Boston. Steve's company was able to pick my wife up from her hotel in Boston, handle all transportation, and then ensure he picked her up again a few days later at the ferry and dropped her off back at the front door of her hotel back in Boston. Again, trying to logistically execute this on our own would have been very difficult and we are so thrilled to have entrusted our vacation plans with New England Trips. Thanks again Steve and we appreciate all that you do/did.

Great company. Our trip to Martha’s Vineyard was fabulous. Our driver was courteous and very informative. The tour guide on the vineyard was witty and informative as well.

THIS IS THE TIME FOR MASS RESIDENTS TO VISIT MARTHA'S VINEYARD IN THE SUMMER. The weather is perfect, the crowds are at a minimum and everything is open.
I am a Massachusetts resident and this week I was hosting some out of town family. They wanted to go to Martha's Vineyard. I did not want to be hassling with details while trying to visit so I called New England trips on a Wednesday inquiring for the following day. Because of Covid, they were not running a trip on Thursday, but said they had had several inquiries and would consider pulling something together. A few hours later, they gave us the thumbs up and as it turned out, our party was the only one!
Because there was no time wasted loading and unloading the bus etc., we had some extra time so our driver Chris took us on an informative excursion through Plymouth to see the Mayflower 2 which had recently been returned to its dock before delivering us to the Island Queen.
When we arrived on the island, we were promptly met by Tom, an island native; and once again we received a tailor-made private tour for the price of a group tour. The itinerary normally included time for shopping but Tom gave up the option to skip that and instead used the extra time to take us to some unique and off-the-beaten-path stops that were of particular interest to us. He was very knowledgeable and interesting. We all learned so much and had a great time doing it.
It was a magical day that will never be forgotten. I plan to return to the island again in the next few weeks because I have never experienced Martha's Vineyard like I did this summer. If you are a Massachusetts resident, this is the time to find out for yourself why our island is so popular with the rich and the famous.

I did Plymouth/cape cod tour and the lady who was in charge of the tour was just amazing!!! Kristyn is very helpful, knows a lot of historical information and at the end of the tour also took us to the monument of Ancestors to take a look at it and take quick pictures. She was really sweet, timely, and the tour was just all I needed to see in Massachusetts in 1 day.

I really enjoyed a day trip/excursion to Martha's Vineyard. To me, I think the cost for the trip was definitely well spent! No driving involved. You get dropped off to go on a boat to the island, go around the island to different towns on a beautiful day, listening to all the details of the island, get some local shop discounts, some water/snacks and dropped off at your Boston location. It's a great way to spend the day without all the logistics worries..especially if you are doing it with 2 people or less.
The tour guides were prompt, informative and good with time management..so you really don't have to worry about anything.
If I have time to see around New England again, I would definitely be interested in going with this your company again. They do have trips to Salem, Martha's Vineyard, Newport/Providence, etc...so there's something of interests for anyone!

We took the full day trip to Cape Cod and Plimoth Plantation - what a great day! Jeff our driver was entertaining from start to finish and very professional with lots of local knowledge. Our van was comfortable and the snacks and cold water an added bonus. The day had a lot of variety: beach and wetlands on Cape Cod, Heritage Museum and Gardens (loved those Indy cars and the unusual hydrangeas). Plimoth Plantation is interesting and well laid out with a variety of demonstrations. Returned to Boston on the coastal road seeing a mind blowing number of huge fancy homes.
The tour was well paced with time to see the sites without rushing. Highly recommended.

New England Trips Inc was fantastic! Service is top notch. We took a trip to Martha’s Vineyard and enjoyed the entire drive down to Falmouth. Kevin the driver is a local guy; was very knowledgeable and funny. After getting to Oak Bluffs, we rented a car and went to explore Edgartown, Aquinnah to see the cliffs and lighthouse. 6 hours was just enough time to experience Martha’s Vineyard. The trip also offers discount cards as well! I would recommend this trip to everyone. Overall, absolutely fantastic. Will use in the future.

My family and I planned a trip to the Boston area. We stayed in Cambridge for a few nights and then planned to spend a few nights out on Martha's Vineyard. We weren't sure how to get out there without our own car. After a little bit of online research, I found a bus that we could take. That seemed like a lot of work to get the four of us from our hotel to the bus with all of our luggage. I then found the New England Trips website and spoke with Steve. We arranged for an SUV to pick us up from Cambridge, take us to Falmouth to catch the Island Queen ferry to Martha's Vineyard, and then to pick us up from Falmouth a couple days later to bring us back to Logan Airport. Steve, the owner, picked us up on both ends of the trip. The car was spacious and meticulous. It was as comfortable of a ride as we could have asked for. Steve was so enjoyable to talk to and answered all of our questions about Boston and Martha's Vineyard. It worked out perfectly for us. If we're ever in the Boston area again, we'll make sure to take a day trip with New England Trips!

What a great day. Kevin our bus driver collected us and was nothing but fun. Great stories and accent !! Local info on places we passed, obviously a tour guide disguised as a driver. The cruise, island tour and free time were perfectly timed and our group finished the day very happy with our Martha's Vineyard experience. Steve was incredibly patient with our booking. Positive experience from start to finish and excellent value.

A M A Z I N G The driver picked us up promptly at our hotel early in the morning. His name is Dave and he was absolutely thee best facilitator I've ever had. Dave was very cheerful, friendly and helpful. Not easy to do when he had to pick up 12 to 14 guests at I believe it was 5 different hotels.
He and I were cracking jokes and wise-cracks back and forth, all good natured, because we have the same sense of humor. The rest of the guests in the van really enjoyed our banter.It did not prevent him from doing an excellent and professional job the whole way to Falmouth, Mass. and the whole way back. That's 1 1/2 hours drive each way.
He told us some facts and things of interest during the drive, had time to allow for a "pit stop" for those needing restroom facilities or to just stretch their legs and drove 100% safely and even checked with us if the A/C in the van was at a comfortable level. He provided cold, bottled water and breakfast snacks in the A.M. and salty snacks on the return drive. My wife and I enjoyed every minute and Dave is an outstanding asset to the New England Trips, Inc. family.
I must include Ken too, who was the driver and guide on the optional 3 hour narrated tour once at Martha's Vineyard. His knowledge of the area and conversational tone made me feel as if I was visiting with an old friend, who was showing me all the must see sights the Vineyard offered.
Two excellent and unforgettable experiences. This was the best money I spent during our 4 day stay in Boston. I would never had experienced all I did had I not taken this tour. If you are planning a visit soon, make sure that you check this day trip out. All I can add is they get an A+++ from me.
