We have been booking with Grand Traverse Tours for over 10 years now. The owner, Greg, is…read morewonderful. He is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We know the wineries, and he set up times and booked reservations as needed. If you are not familiar, he can book an itinerary based on your group preferences. This year, we had Don as our driver, and he was great. The right balance of friendly, without being annoying. He took photos for us, gave us reminders as needed, and most importantly, got us safely where we needed to be. Be safe during your TC trip, and get a tour with GT tours.

AFFORDABLE 5-STAR EXPERIENCE! When my wife and I first visited the TC wineries several years ago…read morewe were happy to drive ourselves because it was just the two of us. But we quickly noticed there was a premium tour experience available through Grand Traverse Tours. Their shiny and clean premium vehicles were always parked right at the entrance and their groups were being guided past the lines we stood in by their guide and driver. We knew then that when we returned we would want to be a part of their VIP experience, and that we would want to bring friends with us to enjoy it. INITIAL CONTACT: After reviewing their easy to navigate and well organized homepage we completed an online reservation request. We received a prompt and timely response to confirm availability and were directed to call at our convenience to make a specific reservation. I spoke with the owner Greg and he is terrific to work with. He was happy to answer all of my questions in an unhurried and no pressure manner. His guidance when creating our custom itinerary was much appreciated as he helped us to narrow down the very many choices there are to make sure we found the right tour for our group - which we most certainly did. COST: We were presently surprised to discover that the cost of their tours is very competitive to the more average experiences. In fact, with as few as 6 people we were actually ahead financially and of course enjoyed the VIP experience to boot. DRIVER / GUIDE: Todd arrived early, was professionally dressed, and most pleasant to be around. He knew the wineries as well as you would expect and was happy to share his insights with us. He called the day before to introduce himself as well as the morning of our event just to make sure all was well. He was always there when you needed him and never hard to find. His presence definitely elevated our experience. THE VEHICLE: Our group has all been in similar domestically produced vehicles by Ford and GM and such at one time or another so we were all expecting the ride to be like that of a school bus or airport shuttle - bumpy, noisy, and just adequately comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by the ride quality and comfort of their Mercedes-Benz A-Style Limousine which rivaled that of the MB sedans - no kidding. It was like gliding on a magic carpet, members of our group made several comments in this regard, myself included. THE VIP EXPERIENCE: As we anticipated our group was dropped and picked up right at the entrance and Todd walked us in and guided us to the front of the lines at each stop. Checking in was effortless and quick. We never felt rushed and our pace was relaxing and fun. SUMMARY: We can hardly wait to return to Traverse City, and when we do we will of course be calling Grand Traverse Tours to help elevate our experience once again.

We have never been on a sailboat before, so it was a neat experience to watch our excellent crew unfurl the sails and get us out onto the Lake on the very last day of their season! Even cooler was the fact that they let me and some other guests pull the sails up at the start of the tour!! The views were unbeatable, and the crew did a great job of keeping us safe and entertained throughout the tour. Great drink selection and the snack boxes (some cheese, cherries, and crackers) as well as the lunch wraps were great for our couple hours on the water. I would definitely do this again when in town, or recommend to others who want to spend an exhilarating but serene afternoon on the water.

She explained where we were going and a little about the area and history of the wineries. Last year we tried to do some of this on our own and it didn't go well . This time i wasn't going to make the same mistake !! The charter was totally first class !! You will see great value in return for your investment. Next year we will definitely call and set up a charter it's the only way to go !! Thank you for giving us such a great day !!!

We used Kathy's services over 3 years ago when my (then) girlfriend and I were taking our very first trip together. Fast forward to now, and we used Kathy's services on our honeymoon! We fell in love with wine after doing our very first trip together and this second trip was no exception. Kathy was professional, clean (followed COVID-19 restrictions), and friendly the entire time. It brought back so many memories of our first trip together and we will NEVER use another private wine tour service. Kathy and her crew are our go-to company, and they're all extremely knowledgeable about all the different wineries and wine all throughout Traverse City. If anyone wants an intimate wine tour, that is priced far better than the rest of the competition, look no further than Traverse City Tours!
