This is one of the best tours we’ve taken. The tour included all the high points of the area, including excellent vistas for memorable pictures. Our guide Matt provided great insight throughout the day to enhance our tour. I highly recommend this tour to experience all the sleeping bear dunes has to offer.

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.
