Bob was the most amazing driver/tour guide. His personality was fun, yet not over the top, and he took very good care of us. He had great suggestions to maximize our adventure. He was informative and such a gentleman/big brother/pseudo-father…a pure diamond in the rough. Everyone needs a Bob in their life!

Planning a bachelorette party during a pandemic?
Stressful
Booking a winery tour with Traverse Bay Tours?
Easy as (cherry) pie.
Greg was incredibly helpful throughout the booking process. Julia, our guide, was outstanding! What a sweetheart. Kept us on time for each winery without us feeling rushed, as well as took pictures of our group at each stop.
I would absolutely book this company again / recommend them to a friend. Thanks again!

We had the best day with Jodi! She was super sweet and attentive all day and we felt super taken care of and safe. The whole booking process and communication leading up to the wine tour were great and all the Covid precautions made sense and were clearly communicated. Will definitely use Traverse Bay Tours again for future Traverse weekends!

Our family had a wonderful afternoon touring wineries on Leelanau Peninsula! This is the only way to go, having someone drive you around and drop you at the entrances. Grand Traverse Tours does an exceptional job!

This was the best tour I have ever been on! Greg was incredible getting us all set up and helping us make reservation. Mike was our driver and let me tell you he was amazing! He was so helpful and made sure we got into each winery! He took so many pictures during the trip which was amazing so we didn't have to worry about it. He was so kind and funny and really cared about us and our experience! This tour was so worth it and I'm so excited to plan another trip with Traverse Bay Tour.

Traverse Bay Tours was a terrific way to visit the wineries. So easy to work with Greg the owner to set up the afternoon of wine tastings. We visited Mari, Brys (order the Frose’ and Charcuterie), Bowers and Bonobo. The winery settings were spectacular. The wines...were different than what we usually experience. But no matter, we had a wonderful time and our driver Julia was fantastic! In these Covid times we felt very safe in the tour bus with only our group and at each of the wineries as well. Everyone and place we encountered took extra measures to ensure our safety was priority one. Thanks!

From start to finish- just an amazing team. When I called to book, they gave several detailed recommendations taking into account priorities and preferences from the group and obviously are well acquainted with the wineries. The van was perfectly clean and the driver was a gem! She had sanitizer and water ready to go at every stop. The little facts and knowledge given about the area and wineries was such a fun little addition as we drove around. Greg and Julia are a great team- made for such a fantastic and memorable day.

I booked a winery tour for my friend’s bachelorette party through Traverse Bay Tours and we had a great time! Greg was great to work with throughout the planning process and helped is work through the COVID changes to create a tour that would work for our group. Our driver Dave was very kind putting up with us noisy girls! Everything went very smoothly and we loved our day.

Julia was our driver and she was top-notch throughout our day!
I mainly spoke with Greg during preparations and he was patient and thorough. We were in TC in June, 2020 (6 of us, for a couples weekend). All of the wineries and Traverse Bay Tours were taking every possible precaution to keep all of us safe and maintain sanitary conditions during the COVID19 outbreak. Masks had to be worn while in the van; which was absolutely reasonable. I highly recommend Traverse Bay Tours.

Rebecca was our guide and she was amazing and took wonderful pictures throughout our day. She has such a wonderful personality and had us laughing. I would recommend her for your Traverse City guide. We also worked with Greg and he was so flexible with us. Cannot wait to visit again.

Do you pick up from the Grand Traverse Resort? I was wanting to book an online winter tour, but have not been able to get through when I’ve called for some reason.
Thanks!

Yes! Nearly all of the Traverse City wineries are open all year, albeit with slightly shorter hours in the winter. The tours are available as well.

Sometimes companies don't "respond" to questions on TripAdvisor. I would message them directly or call... Here is their number +1 231-342-7274 and their website shown at the top of the tripadvisor page....This won't let me post the link :) You will so enjoy them!
And they will surely take you up to Old Mission!

Hello, what is your radius for pick-ups? We will be staying near Harrison, MI (80 miles from Traverse City) and are looking for a tour to take us on a wine tour in June 2017?

Hi - thanks for asking. We occasionally, when time permits, go up to an hour's drive outside of Traverse City. There are extra charges. Harrison looks like it's about an hour and 40 minutes from Traverse City. We could only consider that on a non-Saturday, and the extra travel charges on top of the tour would be about $275. I recommend driving into Traverse City, parking in a parking garage (from which we would pick you up), and going to dinner - and maybe a movie - before driving back so that you'll have plenty of time before you drive again.
If I can assist you further, please let me know! I can be reached at 231-342-7274 also.

Hi Amanda - Yes, we definitely pick up at Pointes North. For future reference, we pick up at all Traverse City hotels, and most vacation rentals. Thanks for inquiring!
