too complicated to use
I booked this through Tripadvisor but turns out that the tour is produced by WalknTours. Therefore, I had to install 2 apps and jump through several hoops. I wanted to back track several times and that was very difficult. There was a disproportionate amount of info about "Jaws" considering how historic Edgartown is. The narrator's voice was easy to listen to.
Response from the operator: Hi, good note, I run the WalknTours app! And all the tours (350+ most in the USA!) are all on the WalknTours app. That's where the tour technology and stories that power the tour are :). There is lots of history on the tour, whaling, JFK, Native Americans, underground Railroad, fishing, lots of stories! Also there are a few Jaws stories, as that is a popular topic, since it was filmed there :) Thanks for pointing that out! Have a great day. Greg @ WalknTours

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Martha's Vineyard.
How much does Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Martha's Vineyard usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Martha's Vineyard is not rushed.
Is Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Martha's Vineyard, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Martha's Vineyard can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Martha's Vineyard and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Edgartown Martha’s Vineyard Self-Guided (GPS) Audio Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Martha's Vineyard within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Martha's Vineyard?
+
Martha's Vineyard, MA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Martha's Vineyard by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Martha's Vineyard experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include #1 Best 3hr Martha's Vineyard shared Island Tour from Oak Bluffs, Best of Martha's Vineyard 3 hour Full-Island Tour, #1 Best Martha's Vineyard Private Tours for up to 6 people. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Martha's Vineyard?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Martha's Vineyard, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Martha's Vineyard?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
