- laurakand0 contributionsDesignated Driver - highly recommendedKevin was our designated driver and he was great! He was very friendly and personable. He took good care of my vehicle, communicated well with us on time and didn't make us feel rushed. He also made sure we were accommodated at Brys. I definitely would book designated driver again to have piece of mind of making it back to our hotel safely after drinking wine all day!Written July 8, 2024
- 532suzannea0 contributionsGreat afternoon with some delicious wines.John was so friendly and accommodating on our tour. The itinerary that was planned was perfect for my husband and I with a nice mix of local wineries and John kept us on schedule with gentle reminders when it was time to get moving. Our tour ended with a stop at a local ice cream parlor which John reminded us was only possible because we booked a private tour with Designated Driver. Thanks for a great afternoon!Written June 26, 2024

Our driver, Christi, was so easy to chat with and very personable! We will absolutely use the service our next trip and hope Christi will be available to show us a great time!Written June 10, 2024

This is truly the first thing you should do when visiting Traverse City. It’s a great way to get an overview of the City by smart young people who grew-up there. We saw different areas and got some great recommendations for dining, drinking, and shopping. After the tour we enjoyed shopping and walking around the lively downtown area while our car was still parked at the pick up spot. Later we drove to another neighborhood for dinner. This is a “Must Do”.

Our tour guide showed us places we would never had found if we had visited Traverse City 10 times. She provided great restaurant suggestions and shared interesting historical information. I would recommend this tour to everyone on the first day of their visit. Thank you, Michelle!

This is a must do at the beginning of your Traverse City visit. Michelle, our guide and chief peddler, was awesome. So informative, and took us to areas we never would have seen. Gave us great insight on restaurants and places to visit, as well as the history of Traverse City. It was a blast. Highly recommend this tour!! Thanks Michelle for a great experience.

Totally unprofessional-never showed up. Texted I wanted to cancel-was informed I had to cancel through trip advisor, I said I'd try, but am not good on computers. Was unsuccessful, so showed up and they did not. They never confirmed with me if it was cancelled or not, and said they never heard from me one way or other-which in my view was NOT confirmation it was cancelled . I asked if I had been successful in cancelling through trip advisor, wouldn't they have been notified? informed maybe, maybe not. They did offer to try the next day, but we wouldn't be in town.

As you can see if you search through our reviews, they are all great, until now. So sorry to see you thought you needed to give us a bad review...
On Aug 6th I received a text from you that said "Please cancel our tour for tomorrow, TripAdivor BR-1155602609 Sarah Sutheard, I'll try to call, doing an airport run". At this point I said "Okay but you will also need to cancel with TripAdvisor or whoever you booked through". You then sent me our reference code and asked if that had anything to do with us to which I responded, "That is our reference number but you paid them, not us, so we do not have your payment".
You responded with "yeah, I figured, not computer person. Thank you so much for your time."
I then rescheduled the rickshaw and driver for other activities.
As you know, you called me the next day and lit me up! Demanding that I owed you a tour an no one ever showed up. I explained that we had reallocated our resources and were booked for the rest of the day and yes, even though you were being so inappropriate on the phone I said I could fit you in the next day, to which you declined.
When someone cancels with us we do not send the rickshaw anyways, just in case they did not complete their cancellation with TripAdvisor. In addition it was very disheartening when you pocket dialed me back and bashed me over an over to the people with you.
Your daughter sent me a text afterwards saying "I'm sorry for my mothers words, I think we were confused. I told her not to use TripAdvisor, lol. I am helping her cancel it now, very sorry for any stress this may have caused. I hope you have a better day".
In the future, please be careful with bad reviews as it hurts small businesses a lot. I did not deserve this review, you made a mistake, fess up.

A perfect way to start your TC visit. We got a lay of the land and then decided what we wanted to do downtown based upon all of the great info we got from. Our guide. We would have never known about the Commons if not for this adventure, or many other little spots like Slabtown Cookies! Our guide picked us up at our BandB downtown, and was very flexible when we needed to push back time by 45 min. If you have not been to TC, this is a must do for your first morning in town.

Jessica was our tour guide. She was incredible. She asked us what our interests were and mainly focused on that. We saw parts of the city we would have never seen, if left to our own exploring. She pointed out great out-of-the-way restaurants, bakeries and shops that we would have never found. She knew the history of every area and was very articulate. We enjoyed this tour more than any of the tours we’ve been on, in many different cities.

This was such an amazing, fun and valuable experience! Our guide, Michelle, was an expert on everything Traverse City! She was so upbeat and cheery it made the tour so fun. My wife and I learned a lot about and saw a lot of sites that are part of the history of Traverse City which was very fun. Using the numerous recommendations Michelle had for having the best food experiences available, we were able to have the best dining experiences without even a single disappointment. If you want to up the enjoyment level of your Traverse City experiences you should take this tour on your first day in Traverse City so you will know the best places to eat and the best and most valuable activities to enjoy. It was just the very best!

Jessica gave us a one hour personalized history, guided tour, recommendations based on our interests and food likes. Rickshaw able to go where cars not, sidewalks, bike patches, etc. Up close, personal explanations and guidance. It allowed us to set what we wanted to do with time we had. Brilliant! We will always do a rickshaw tour, whenever it is available. In future (period).

Highlight of my trip. My husband and I received the most enjoyable and memorable visit to Traverse City and it all began with the Rickshaw experience. Recommendations that helped us pinpoint our new favorite places were visited. We were more than pleased...A+++! You don't want to leave Traverse City without this educational and funfilled tour.
