Peninsula Day Trip: Sightseeing Top to Bottom
This tour is different from other Door County Tours because we offer a comprehensive tour of the county from Sturgeon Bay to Death's Door in one full day trip. We offer a box lunch and a luxury vehicle which seats only ten. Our tour is more personal with lots of room, the seats are leather captain's chairs with armrests, shoulder straps, and USB chargers for everyone, local guides, personal attention, and customized tours based on group interests. Finally, we have two very convenient meeting points, and offer pick up service to customers staying South of Egg Harbor.
