Great Door County overview - This is the only “all-inclusive” Door County tour, meaning that it covers the entire area (not just a small portion of it). It gives a great overview of the county and takes you to all the highlights and small towns. Dave is knowledgeable of the history and other interesting information about Door County….and he does the driving so you don’t have to!! Plus, he gives recommendations on other places to go and good places to eat. It was great!! My sister and I really enjoyed it.

Great Day Trip - Dave the tour owner operator is very knowledgeable about the area and an easy friendly person to talk to. The all inclusive tour of Door County was a full 8 hours to included lunch sandwiches, drinks, chips and a cookie included in the price. Dave took us off road the places he found which are great for their history, views, or well known viewing/sporting area to include beaches, rocks, caves, piers, light houses, piers, etc. Dave did give us his personal opinion of various restaurants.

Great tour experience - This was our first time to Door County and we thought the best way to see the highlights was through a tour. We were not disappointed. The tour covered both sides of Door County from top to bottom. Dave, our tour guide, was very informative and helpful. He was available to answer any of our questions. The ride was very comfortable. This tour made the best use of our time to experience Door County with its beauty and wide array of attractions. I recommend this tour to any first time visitors.

Mixed Feelings - I’m torn about writing my review. First there was a mix-up on our booking dates and Dave fit us in on the date we were supposed to be scheduled. I’m grateful for that! He was a great tour guide & very knowledgeable and I know we saw things we would’ve missed on our own. But, the tour was advertised as 8am-5pm. We got picked up at 8:30 & dropped off at 4. When I booked there was a list of what we’d see & do: we didn’t see the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse in Peninsula State Park, didn’t stop at a winery in Egg Harbor, no stop in Carlsville and didn’t see the Sherwood Point lighthouse. I feel that if the tour lasted the advertised hours we would gotten the full tour. Perhaps the description of the tour should be updated.
