Mr Frizzle was the best! So sweet and wanted us to have a great time. He took pictures of us and took the time to talk to us and make sure we were having a good time. Such a sweet man… made our experience a 10/10!!!

We had a great time - our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We never felt rushed at any of the wineries and it was a very enjoyable experience. I would have preferred a bit more information about the wines - either a guided tasting or maybe a bit of an intro/info session from the actual winery BUT that's me being a wine nerd, wanting to learn more about wine :) For my boyfriend, brother, and SIL who don't really drink wine it was a fantastic opportunity to open them up and get them interested in drinking different types of wines and going to vineyards!

The vineyards were all beautiful and very accommodating to our group. We had Michael as our driver for our tour as a part of a bachelorette party weekend and he was incredible! He provided us with tons of great recommendations and was an absolute sweetheart overall. Highly recommend the Magic Shuttle Bus for visiting Traverse City wineries!!
