Travelers will have a scenic drive down a tree canopied road that sneaks back to a little park which is perched on a massive bluff overlooking Green Bay. Visitors can walk down the stepped path to an overlook which is literally perched out on the sheer face of a rather high cliff overlooking the bay as far as you can see. Stunning views and a little thrilling if your brave enough to go out to the main viewpoint for a look. But fear not, there are plenty of great views available from just about everywhere.

This tour is an excellent way to either: 1. see the highlights of Door County if you don't have long to be there (our case) and you don't want to have to do a lot of research, or 2. acquaint yourself with what's there before you do spend several days. Dave is very congenial and accommodating. We hit all the major spots and the lunch was excellent. The tour is well worth the money.

We had never been in Door County before, and only had a day here to see the sites. When I saw this day trip of the area, I booked without hesitation. We were so glad we did! We thoroughly enjoyed the 8 hour trip. Dave, the owner, was very informative, and easy to talk to. He dropped us off at some of the sites, while he parked his van to wait for us. At other sites, he came with us and showed us the best places to stand to get some awesome pictures. Dave sent me an email prior to our excursion as to what type of sandwich and drink to have for lunch. He picked up our lunches and then headed to a beautiful, quiet overlook of the water. The sandwiches were very tasty. He also had water and snacks available. The van was spacious with bucket seats. My husband, who is 6’10”, enjoyed the leg and head room! I wish we could have spent another day here, so we could have gone back to see more in depth, places seen on this tour.
