Grand Traverse Tours

Jeff worked diligently to accommodate our strange schedule and set us up with our tour guide Sue. We had a great vehicle and Sue was a great driver and took us to all of the places we wanted to see. We really had a great time and will definitely be back.

Awesome tour of Old Mission peninsula with our driver Jimmy. He did a fantastic job of giving us history and stories of the region. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Ben was our winery tour driver and he was awesome. Very accommodating, resourceful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We would book w this company again. Nice day! Thanks

Jerry took our group of four up Old Mission. We hit six tastings and couldn’t have had a better time. I highly recommend requesting Jerry. We’ve done tours all over the world and Jerry’s knowledge of not only the winners but all the best local places to stop was unmatched. He truly made the trip outstanding.

Grand Traverse Tours is AMAZING! I would recommend them to anyone.
Never being to Traverse city they helped me figure out what buses and places to visit for bachlorette party. They are very quick to respond to both e-​mails and phone calls and have great customer service.
Thank you Jeff for such a great experience!

This company is professional, knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend them to anyone doing a wine tour in the Grand Traverse area!
We came up from the Rochester area for the «Toast the Season» winery tour. We had 6 people in our party, and it was a surprise for my wife’s 30^th birthday. Our driver’s name was Tom, and he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The limo came stocked with ice cold bottled water, Tom brought a sharpie to write names on everyone’s cases so we wouldn’t mix up our bottles, and Tom also happily took our group picture at each of the stops.
The limo itself was a white stretch Lincoln, and we got asked by multiple people if we were the ones in the stretch limo; it was really an eye catcher! The inside of the limo was in excellent condition as well. It was a comfortable, smooth ride, and there were plenty of windows to take in the amazing views on our drives between wineries.
Overall, we had an excellent time, and my wife keeps reminding me how big a role Grand Traverse Tours played in making our experience so great!

My husband and I were a part of a «join in» wine tour on Old Mission. We had a wonderful time thanks to Grand Traverse Tours. The Mercedes bus was by far the nicest bus we saw of all the tour companies that day. It made the drive very comfortable and enjoyable. Our driver, Jerry, was excellent! He was outgoing, professional and very friendly. He seemed to have excellent contacts with each of the wineries– calling ahead to reserve a space for us or making sure they weren’t too crowded so we wouldn’t have to wait. He went out of his way to ensure everyone on our tour had a great time. We will definitely use this company again and recommend to all!

Pleased to say that we share the same sentiment as many other reviewers using Grand Traverse Tours for our winery tour in Traverse City. I ran across the service while searching on Groupon but we called and booked directly instead since we had a certain day we wanted to go. We got lucky going on a Monday and had the van privately for our family of 6. Our driver (Travis?) took great care of us, providing water, taking pictures, sharing a bit of history and local knowledge. The wineries were prepared for our arrival and were also very accommodating.
The vehicle was in great shape, good temperature, and not your ordinary conversion van. This service seems very professional compared to other vans I saw while on the tour. I highly recommend using Grand Traverse Tours when booking a winery tour in TC!

Great experience! Our driver Jerry was very nice and willing to take the million pictures we asked him to. He made our wine tour the best time ever! We all had a blast for my bachelorette party and I would do it again in an instant!

I was a bit skeptical about using a company for a service that’s advertised on Groupon, because there’s usually a reason why, and it’s usually not a good one. But my girl friends and I were truly pleasantly surprised. Jeff was very accommodating to our needs. I think he understood that with 8 girls going on a wine tour in Traverse City, it probably means a (possibly rowdy) bachelorette party and was smart to not put an extra couple in with us. The stretch Mercedes party bus we rode around town in was in mint condition. Jeff also said it wouldn’t be too big of a deal if we go over our block of time by a little bit, which is pretty cool of him. Our driver was so nice and it was a nice touch that he got in touch with the wineries we were going to in advance to let them know a group of us were coming together. One of the wineries even had a room set aside for us. He even drove us around town and gave us a quick tour of the city, that was really nice of him as well. My one and only complaint is that I was expecting the bus to have a more «standard» limo setup, with the long couch around the bus instead of having seats like a normal van. Although none of us got sloppy, the van seats setup made the getting in and out at each of the wineries kind of inconvenient, but, fortunately, that’s not enough for me to ding them for it.

My fiancé and I went on a winery tour last weekend and had an amazing time. We have been to Traverse City many times together and this tour truly made our recent trip our most favorite! Jeff was our chauffeur for the tour and did an exceptional job at making sure everybody had a great time. He had a great rapport with each winery and assisted with assuring our group was well taken care of at every stop.
We purchased the deal on Groupon which was a great savings, however I will definitely be taking another future tour and would have no trouble justifying the full price for the service we received!

We had a fantastic time and it was well worth the money. (Which was a great deal!) Our driver and owner, Jeff Geiger was prompt, extremely courteous and very professional. Great conversation and knowledgable about the area and it’s history. Would be a repeat customer in a heart beat! Although I don’t do many reviews I’m a consumer that votes with his dollar and believe in spreading the good word to others. It was obvious that Grand Traverse Tours values their customers and maintains old school values in how a customer should be treated. Awesome.

Bought a Groupon wine tour on Old Mission Peninsula. Our driver picked us up on time and was professional and friendly. The van was comfortable, and even being a tall guy, was easy to get in and out of. He was knowledgable about the area and made it an entertaining and comfortable ride — even brought a meat and cheese plate for mid-​day. The selection of wineries was good. Lots of fun!

My boyfriend and I went on the brewery tour last night, loved it! Our driver Ben was really friendly and the rest of the people on the tour were pretty fun for the most part (two couples together were kinda stuffy and actually really rude at the end who doesn’t tip drivers?! So rude!).
We started at Terra Ferma then Right Brain, The Workshop and our final stop, my personal favorite, Seven Monks. It was great going with a tour since we got preferential treatment at each brewery and the bartenders knew the driver and hooked us up.
I just moved back Up North and it was really cool to go to a few places I hadn’t been to yet and to talk with fellow beer lovers, especially ones from different parts of the state.
I’d definitely recommend these guys for a wine tour too (I’ve seen them around when I’ve been out tasting) not the best for a rowdy bachelor party or anything too crazy as the busses are really sharp Mercedes but perfect for a birthday party.
Well worth the price! Thanks guys!

Jeff was a great driver and tour guide for wine country on Old Mission. Very knowledgable and fun. Great service all around.

Booking a tour date was easy and painless after a quick phone call to Grand Traverse Tours. On the phone, they were extremely helpful with local tips on the best hotels. Once the time for the tour came, Jeff (our chauffeur) was right on time. Jeff was the perfect host as he grew up in the area and shared his knowledge of the establishments and local history. He was down to earth and professional; he made the whole trip run smoothly and everyone had time to enjoy themselves without feeling rushed. The wineries that were chosen were perfect! Each had it’s own unique character and appeal without any feeling of pretentiousness. We were already plans for a brewery tour with Grand Traverse Tours as we were driving back home for the weekend!

Jeff, our chauffeur, was amazing! Had so much fun, took us to some of the best wineries, was very knowledgable about the area and it’s history. Have been on many wine trips and this was by far the best — HIGHLY recommend this company!
