The Grand Rapids, running tours encompass such a tremendous variety of tours from murals to cemeteries and everything in between. As others have mentioned don't let the name fool you running, is not required. I've been on a few of her guided tours, and always come away with a better appreciation of our city, and its rich history. Last fall we took the Fulton Street cemetery tour on Friday the 13th and despite the abysmal cold weather and steady downpour, we found the tour engaging and interesting. She almost bombards you with too much information as her notes are plentiful and her words fly quickly it can be a lot to take in. if you have the opportunity and have a curious mind, do not hesitate to join one of these tours.

My boyfriend and I recently did a special tour of the Rad Women public art project throughout downtown Grand Rapids with GR Running Tours. Our guide Caroline was super friendly, energetic, enthusiastic, and fun to listen to! She made sure to keep everyone in the large group together and kept a pace that was manageable for all. We learned about all the women depicted in the murals as well as the local artists who painted them. The tour we took was 3+ miles but they offer shorter tours with all sorts of themes, including architecture, art, haunted spots, the history of Beer City USA, firehouses, etc.! There are many options. The tours are great for visitors and locals alike, as there is so much history to be learned. Highly recommended!

Gray Drake Lodge is NOT closed! My 8 year old grandson and I visited on 9/14/18 for a phenomenal…read moreexperience! This trip was a birthday gift to me from my wife. Perhaps one of the best gifts I have ever received. Our hosts, Matt and Laurie, were amazing. A few days before our arrival, Matt called to ask about food and accommodation preferences. The breakfasts Laurie prepared were so special, my we texted pics to Mom. Matt also put a great deal of thought and time into preparing food for our time on the river. Then came fly fishing! I could not have scripted a better experience or imagined a better guide/instructor. While I went to a fly fishing instruction weekend years ago, we are novices. You will never find a better person to learn from. Without a doubt, Matt is one of the best! More importantly to me as a grandpa, was the attention, patience and real interest he had in teaching my grandson. Before our two days were over, he caught 5 fish and several more that got away! (I caught a few, and would have caught more, except for the joy I had watching my grandson learn from Matt). His knowledge and teaching skills are remarkable. His ability to give such attention to an 8 year old for 5 hours a day for two days, and at the same time keep an eye on me and give me valuable advice was priceless. As a B&B, Gray Drake is excellent. As a fly fishing experience and a learning experience, all I can add is that the memories will be with my grandson and I for life!

I happened to read the previous review on this Lodge and I felt compelled to write a review myself…read more Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that is great-however I feel the woman who wrote the review kind of missed the point that it is a fly fishing lodge not just a B and B. She must have never stayed at this type of bed and breakfast to not know that everything she was complaining about it how every fly fish lodge is structured. Fly fishing lodges are catered to Fly fishermen and like myself Fly fisherwomen. It is a place where people do like to hear stories about fishing and fish that has been caught. It is also a place where food is part of the experience and they cater you while you stay. It is part of the price you agree to pay before you stay at a bed and breakfast. I stayed at this lodge with my husband this past week for our honeymoon. It was nothing less than amazing. Matt the owner and his wife take their lodge very seriously and when they were in the living area it was far away from the guests and they were cleaning up after us. They were never there to socialize or interrupt, they were simply keeping order in the lodge so that everything looked appealing to their guests. I find it interesting that a guest would complain about the owner wanting to acknowledge their guests. Matt and his wife were always very pleasant and professional. We never once felt uncomfortable. Their lodge was so clean and organized-just a breathtaking place to stay id you love fly fishing and the outdoors. We had such a wonderful experience here at this lodge and we are already planning on when we can visit again. The room we stayed was the master room suite. I will post a picture so you can see-it was so beautiful and the architecture was very unique. Right outside the door was a Jacuzzi overlooking the river which was such an unexpected bonus (which I may add was never advertised so I am not sure why the woman on the previous review was complaining, since it was she didn't even know they had one until she got there...). Matt himself took us fly fishing on his DAYS OFF. We thought that was really fun. He was so helpful and was great at giving direction when we needed it (and I needed it a lot). My husband is an avid fly fisher and we have been to many lodges. He was very impressed with the whole experience we had with him. I highly suggest staying here if you are looking to fish in Michigan. I also highly suggest not staying here if you want to be antisocial and complain like the last review-if you want to stay at a cold place with cold people, go to a motel. THIS IS A FLY FISHING LODGE. Not sure if you will see this Matt, but thank you and your wife for such an awesome time and awesome food and fishing! We absolutely will be back.

With some friends from out of town visiting, they wanted to try and do something a bit more unique and this fit the bill. There were 9 of us total, I think we could fit up to 13-14? We were told to arrive at 6 for a 630 start but our tour guide did not show up until a little after 630 and seemed a bit disgruntled that we were all waiting on a super hot day. We were even told that they switched guides last minute to handle our reservation even though we were there with ample amounts of time. I'm not really sure why that was relevant to share with us but it was uncomfortable and made us feel like no one wanted to take our group. We also didn't get to choose our stops (I guess they said we didn't choose on time?? Though it's not like they had reservations for us, so I'm not sure why that mattered if we could have chosen the day before) but still had a great time! I think they should provide a bit more guidance with picking seats and how to work through but I really do think that we just had someone who was rushing through and it felt a bit awkward. I can't say that I'd opt to do this again in the future but glad I had the experience.
