It was very interesting and I learnt a lot. The guides were great. I thought I had also paid for the 3 hour Martha’s Vineyard tour but I hadn’t but the guide was able to get me on the tour. Thanks so much

unfortunately we were unable to take the tour, my husband was admitted to the hospital the night prior for emergency cardiac care. I informed the tour company and will see if we get a refund. I offered to submit documentation.
