The tour was exceptional and thoroughly enjoyed it. Glad my husband and I got to experience my bucket list item with you! The stops were perfect!

I had been so looking forward to this tour and it did not disappoint. Delores was so helpful and I was able to get on the last tour of the season. Everything ran like clockwork and both Jeff (aka the dead Alex Kintner) & David our driver were the most fantastic guides. A totally authentic tour with plenty of inside information from two people who were actually there 50 years ago when this iconic movie was being made. Started the day as strangers but felt like life long friends by the end of the day. A MUST DO TOUR for any Jaws fans. A++++++++

Booked with Homegrown tour for Martha’s Vineyard at 10:30 on September 25th, 2024. I called Homegrown tour and said that our Ferry would arrive at Oak Bluffs at 10:15 so it would be close on time and she said there would be no problem. Most of the clients are on that ferry a as well. Took the ferry from Woods hole to Martha’s Vineyard (Oak Bluffs) up to the street and watched the homegrown bus drive away. I tried to call the phone number of homegrown tours but her voicemail was full and couldn’t leave any message. Very disappointed to say the least. I wouldn’t recommend Homegrown tours to family or friends.

We were so fortunate to have chosen this tour and have Stanley as our guide. We saw so many beautiful sights and Stanley gave us interesting facts and anecdotes of life on the island. I highly recommend this company.

On September 19,2024, I toured with homegrown tour, LLC. I paid 130.00 (65.00 for myself and my friend Chris). Dee dee canceled the tour because of inclement weather but on the 19th, she changed her plans and decided to accept 14 people on a short bus. I attended but my friend Chris did not due to the limited number of people allowed. Dee dee said that I stated Chris was on the bus but that is not true. I never stated such. She refuses to reimburse 65.00 ( amount of one ticket) She could easily solve the problem by reviewing the list of people on the bus and amount of money she collected in total for that trip. and if she included Chris as present, the count would exceed her limited number of 14. It is impossible to reason with Dee dee as evidence by the unprofessional and aggressive tone text messages she sent to me. I finally had to block her angry replies. As a senior citizen, I cannot recall ever corresponding with anyone as rude and unprofessional as she is, particularly as a business owner serving the community. I am currently disrupting the charge with the credit card company. My suggestion is wait to pay maybe the day of departure for tour and never pay her in cash because you certainly will lose your money dealing with this shady lady…. unbelievable.

Went on a great Jaws bus tour! Our tour guide was Jeffrey Voorhees aka Alex Kintner from the film!! Our driver David was very personable, and knowledgeable as well. All had a wonderful time! Learned a lot, and the sights were beautiful. I give this tour a 10 out of 10!!

My husband and I are Jaws fanatics and for us this tour was on our bucket list. Dolores was so friendly and helpful with our booking and navigating getting to the island from Boston. She was always available to answer my questions. The tour was led by Jeff Vorhees, aka Alex Kitner, and he was fantastic. We were able to see all the locations, get out and take pictures and play trivia on the bus! The bus was cool and comfortable. If you love the movie like I do you must put this tour on your travel to do list.

We had an absolutely amazing time on the JAWS tour in Martha's Vineyard! My 12-year-old son and the entire family loved every minute. Our tour guide, DeeDee, was fantastic—she not only provided great advice about accommodations and transportation on the island but also made sure we had a memorable experience. The highlight was meeting Jeff Voorhees, who played Alex Kintner, the second victim in the movie. His insights and behind-the-scenes stories about JAWS added a special touch to the tour as he guided us around the island. Highly recommend this tour for any JAWS fan!

Our family's experience with HomeGrown Tours was exceptional and so memorable. At the very last minute I decided to see if there were any Jaws tours available for our day trip to Martha'sVineyard. After a couple of futile calls, I had the good luck of speaking to DeeDee at HomeGrown. She immediately went WAY out of her way to help me. Her personal kindness and efforts were above and beyond. She set up a tour with Jeff Vorhees who was the boy on the raft in Jaws. Two hours after i spoke with DeeDee, Jeff (Alex K in Jaws) met us at the ferry and gave my grandson, daughter snd me an amazing tour of Jaws sites on the island. We were all fascinated with his stories of the filming, about Spielberg,Dreyfuss and others in the cast. He is a wealth of knowledge and the nicest, most affable person. We all enjoyed him so much. My grandson will never forget this day and neither will we. DeeDee and Jeff, Thank you so much!!

We have been on dozens of guided tours across the country. North,south, east, and west by land, sea and Air. I’ve never heard so much silence on a tour before. Most Guides talk non stop Pointing out a former police station and telling us of a wealthy Woman whose house he entered to pick up the garbage is weak material The bus has a TV monitor that could have been utilized like other tour operators do to enhance the experience The driver didnt wear his sealbelt which in addition to being against the law jeopardizes the passengers safety Dee in the office was wonderful

We Did Jaws tour! Amazing Given in person by Jeffrey Voorhees. Very informative!! recommend with no reservation. He show us important part of island where scenes were filmed. He shared a lots of interesting facts. Got autograph picture. Highly recommended.

Canceled our tour 2 hours before it was suppose to start. She stated that we were the only ones that were signed up for it but I had checked the day before and it showed that it wasn't available which usually means the tour is full. Also she called us the day before our tour and wanted to know where we were, she had the days confused and thought we were suppose to be there the day before our tour was scheduled. We only had one day to take the tour so by her not knowing what was going one with the reservations she caused us to not see the island of Martha's Vineyard. Also, I had to call to get our money back. I specifically asked her when she canceled our tour about our credit and she stated she would process it, she didn't. I had to call two weeks later to get our money back.

In October 2023 my ten-year-old son and I went on a special tour of Jaws filming locations on Martha's Vineyard, traveling to get to the island from our home in the Washington, D.C. area. There were two tours that day. The bus used for the tour participants belonged to Homegrown Tours owned by Dolores Borza. I had two purposes for going then. One was to see how the tour was conducted and also to meet with Dolores Borza who I'd talked to on the phone a few weeks before. I had learned from being on the Jaws at 50 Facebook site that she was looking for tour guides who would be independent contractors to work next summer conducting tours of Jaws locations and of the history of the island. We spoke on the phone for about an hour in September. I told her I'd been to the island several times over the years, was already familiar with a number of the filming locations, and was first there at two months with my parents when we stayed in a cottage by the Gay Head Lighthouse which appeared in an early scene in Jaws. She asked about my coming on the October Jaws tour and then finding a time to talk afterwards about next summer. I told her I would be on the tour and said my son would come with me as I hoped he'd be able to accompany me next summer if I was able to do the tour work. I also sent her a photo of me with the actress who played the first shark victim in Jaws taken at a celebrity convention near Baltimore in September. She sent me the information I'd need to learn about the island's history to be able to lead that tour. That was the last communication I received from Dolores before coming for the October tour. I emailed her that I'd definitely be there and could we please confirm a time to talk afterwards. She was scheduled to be the driver on both tours and had said before we could find a time to talk between the two tours that day. I had told her finding housing was a key factor in being able to be a tour guide. She had also said we could look into some possibilities. My son and I came up the day before and stayed with a family member who lives near Cape Cod and took the 7am ferry that day to the island to arrive in time for the morning tour. When we got on the tour bus, someone else, not Dolores, was the driver. I subsequently learned she had some other meeting to attend and could not be there. But she didn't bother to let me know she would not be there when that was my only time to meet with her while on the island. That evening when we were back at my relative's I sent her an email telling her how dismayed I was at simply being blown off by her without any word. She wrote back saying how hateful and ugly and short I was, and that she didn't want anything further to do with me in being a tour guide because I'd be all wrong for it. She also claimed, quite falsely, that I hadn't responded to her and she had been waiting to hear from me. The opposite had happened and I resent her all my past emails to show I'd attempted to contact her without response. She also inexplicably said I should have already arranged housing by this time. Maybe this opportunity wouldn't have worked out for logistical reasons. But that doesn't change her absence of professionalism and dishonesty through her blatant lying in dealing with me. I read in some of the other reviews of her company here that her word was not always reliable for people who signed up to go on her summer tours. It was better to learn this now about how she operates instead of later. I would caution anyone who relies on her word to proceed very cautiously and have something else for back up. You may well need it.

Piss poor service took 2 weeks to process a refund. I called every day for a week and had to explain it to Trip Advisor.

Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining too. Good value, would highly recommend to friends
