It took 4.5 hours on an electric bike and that was one stop for water and bathroom. There was no indication if we took a wrong turn.
Response from the operator: Hi Lisa, thanks for sharing your feedback. The tour is designed for both bikes or driving, so your 4.5-hour ride is within range. Beyond that, most people have loved this tour and rated it 5 stars, so I’d love to understand what specifically made it so utterly disappointing that you rated it 1 star. Did you feel the directions weren’t clear at a certain point, or that you missed something along the way? We’re always looking for ways to improve the experience, so any details you can provide would be very helpful. Please feel free to reach out directly to support@drivesanddetours.com

Great way to see Nantucket
Overall loved the tour and would recommend! Great way to explore the island. The only issue is the navigations. When we made a wrong turn we lost track of the audio and kept having to restart.
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and provide feedback on the navigation. The audio will pick up again as soon as you are back on track, you don't have to restart from the beginning. That being said, we are going to be releasing an improvement soon that will continue to navigate even if you fall off track. Thanks again!

Day trip with our bikes to Nantucket.
Finally took the high speed ferry with the Steamship Authority from Hyannis to Nantucket for a day trip. We decided to take our bikes so we could see more of island. We parked in a nearby lot so were able to ride out bikes right to pier. Check in super easy. They ask those with bikes to line up in different location as they are loaded in bottom of boat with luggage. The only thing we didn’t care for was that they don’t put bikes in self standing bike rack so basically pile bikes next to the others and since ours were first in, the potential for damage (scratches esp.) to your bike is high. Ferry ride very smooth and one can sit inside or outside, and they even have plugs by some seats for charging phones and numerous restrooms. After we got bikes we tried navigating the downtown area and found that with the narrow bumpy cobblestone streets, and hundreds of other visitors, it was nearly impossible to ride bikes, so had to basically walk our bikes out of downtown area to get to streets where we could safely ride. After that we found some paved streets that we could rode to some of the bike trails to explore the island. Rode mostly on north side of island past fabulous homes and beaches. Next trip we will explore southern coast. Lots of expensive shopping and restaurants in downtown area. Visited the Whaling museum which has fair amount of history about Nantucket. Loved their rooftop area where you have fantastic views of harbor. Public Restrooms in downtown area at numerous spots. Visiting in September just after Labor Day still hectic but pleasant. We will definitely make a return trip and maybe stay at one of the many quaint inns.
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed your trip and thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nantucket.
How much does Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $13 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nantucket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours 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 Nantucket is not rushed.
Is Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nantucket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking 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 Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Nantucket 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 Nantucket and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nantucket Coast-to-Coast Self-Guided Audio Driving or Biking 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 Nantucket 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 Nantucket?
+
On Outty we rank every Nantucket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historical Tour of Nantucket, Private Nantucket Beach Fishing Activity with a Guide, Nantucket Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour: Beyond the Cobblestones. 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 Nantucket?
+
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 Nantucket?
+
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.
