Was contacted by owner of tour group that morning to verify I was coming and pickup location. That was great! However, during my ferry ride over, she notified me that our pickup was changed to the other dick on Martha's Vineyard since ferries were being diverted due to wind. My ferry was not diverted which caused me just a few minutes of anxiety as I had never been there before and wasn't sure how to the other place; but before I could figure it out, she called back and said a taxi was on its way and were to meet him! That was going out of her way to help! I very much appreciated this! Taxi driver was great too. Devin the guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Only 5 in our group and he accommodated us very well. Highly recommend Homegrown Tours!
