Awesome historical tour - Betsy was phenomenal with her knowledge of the area. She was very friendly, greeted everyone, asked for questions from the people riding on the boat, and shared her personal experiences of growing up in the area. Captain Dave did a great job driving the boat. She had personal knowledge of the kinds of activities and events that happened near Fish Creek and those islands. Best historical tour I have ever been on. We learned a wealth of information about the Millionaire Row houses and the surrounding islands like Little Strawberry, Jack island, etc. Highly recommend taking this tour.

Door County Boat Tour - This was one of the best tours we have ever experienced! We have been going to Door County for years and never knew about the many stories our guide shared. Our guide was a high school history teacher and her knowledge of the county and personal family experiences benefited everyone on the tour!

A Lovely tour - This was a lovely cruise to take. I've always admired the homes on Cottage Row and now got to see them from the water, along with a well-narrated guide, Betsy, who grew up on Chamber's Island. A great amount of history was shared, which is very interesting. The boat is a refinished relic with park bench seating. I use a cane to aid my balance and had no difficulty with boarding, because there are rails.

Enjoyable and relaxing - We had a wonderful boat tour experience with a highly knowledgeable guide. The boat's layout was well thought out, offering covered seating to protect from the sun, but with the option to move to the back sun deck if desired. The smaller size of the boat allowed for an intimate atmosphere, with benches where you could comfortably sit with your partner. (We saw another tour company in Sister Bay that crammed so many people on a boat and glad we didn’t choose that one!) There truly wasn’t a bad seat on the boat. Overall, it was a relaxing experience.

I will not book through a third-party app again, I will do it directly with the hotels. - It wasn't bad, however the sofa bed we got was terrible. I asked if they could provide me with a mattress to put on the sofa, but they didn't have one available. We also didn't like the fact that by booking with them we didn't get breakfast included. Most hotels include breakfast, but by booking through these third-party apps you miss out on several benefits that hotels give. If I had known, I would have booked directly with the hotel.
