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.

For the price, this tour could have been so much better…read more We scheduled a wine and brew tour for 11am on a Saturday morning. As of 10 am we still had not heard from them to know what time to expect our pick-up, so we had to call. Our ride arrived on time at 10:45 in a GMC Yukon. There were 6 on the tour and we were PACKED in that Yukon with barely enough room to move or breathe. It was awkward and not at all comfortable. Our driver was ok with the basics, but not overly helpful. She did take one picture when asked. The wineries we visited were Rove and Bonobo, and the brewery was Silver Spruce. Each was good in its own way.

Reservations were set up in advance at the wineries ,Julia took us inside to make sure everything was going well , came and got us when it was time to move on but NEVER made us feel rushed once !! 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 .

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 !!!

You will be transported through four or more wineries and get to interact on many levels. A couple wineries that stood out to me were Walloon Lake Winery and Petoskey Farms Wineries so be sure to ask to go there as the wines were really good and the people who make the wine were very accessible. Lunch is a part of the tour and Dave serves it at one of the wineries so you can enjoy a glass with lunch looking at breathtaking views. I couldn't imagine doing this tour and tasting so much wine on my own. Having a professional wine guide ensures that you can safely enjoy the wines without worrying about driving yourself! The price is affordable and the educational experience is worth it! I learned a lot of great info from Dave.

She was so great and we all wanted to be her friend lol. The bride said it was super easy to coordinate and she was very helpful in the process. I liked that she gave us 15 minute warnings before it was time to go, and kept things moving. We were at each place for the perfect amount of time for things to not be dragging, but not feel rushed. I also thought she was incredibly good at being engaged with the group but not imposing - again, we all loved her and she could have totally just hung out with us, but she perfectly executed having a presence but like, maintaining the driver/customer dynamic. You can bring whatever alcohol you want on the bus too, which is apparently not the case for all of the bus tours? The bride wanted to have white claws, and I guess some buses only allowed beer/wine. I would highly, highly recommend this tour group!
