I have taken many many tours. When I tell you this was one of the best tours I have been on I mean it. Matt is fantastic. A Michigander who is extremely knowledgeable of the history and geographical significance of the Great Lakes and Michigan. I learned so much all while seeing the beauty of the state. Pickup in Traverse City, chilled water & soda, a tasty sub sandwich and chips all included in the price of the tour. I highly highly recommended this tour. I cannot give enough kudos to Matt. Truly a perfect day in northern Michigan.
