Great day spent with Matt who was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the area. We learned so much about beautiful Lake Michigan and the Traverse City area.
Great tour with Matt as the very best guide! Extremely knowledgeable about history of the region, ecological issues, geographical history, shipwrecks, and much more. Highest recommendation!
I really enjoyed learning about the history of the mansions and the Strawberry Islands. We had such a good time!
