![]() ![]() It was more fun taking the ferry to Washington Island from Northport, than spending time on this tour. It feels like 'get rich quick' enterprise - from the advertised toilet on board (we had no need to use it, but it felt scam'ey to be encouraged to use toilet on shore before boarding), to over fluffed description of what you will see and hear on the tour, to pushy "begging" for positive reviews by the story teller. I've taken numerous tours in WI and elsewhere, the Dells, UP and others, and the entertainment value to cost ratio was the lowest on this one. The story teller, a nice guy (Jerry), rather than sharing insightful facts, kept rambling about how much he knows and researches and was encouraging questions from the passengers, rather than talking himself. Door County is a gorgeous place but this tour is subpar. The tour (Peninsula Park & Ephraim North) was disappointing, especially given the rather pricey tickets (+children, however young/small also require a ticket). As a recommendation to the tour company, it would be great to develop rules and policies to prevent this kind of crowd from overpowering the vision you ideally had in place. We overall expected more with the price we paid for on tickets. The musician had a wonderful voice and was a great guitarist. ![]() ![]() The boat captain and musician were amazing, but was overpowered by these irresponsible and arrogant adults and children. It was not the environment that we ideally had in mind when reading the tour description. These passengers were unable to sit in one spot the entire trip (walked back and forth on the boat constantly- rarely sat down), stood in locations that blocked sunset and landmark views from other riders, were loud and laughing, disruptive throughout, they arrived late to the tour which prevented us from starting on time, and they were deep into alcoholic beverages. We found the other passengers to be incredibly disrespectful not only to all riders involved but also the tour crew. We expected it to be a peaceful sunset tour out on the lake, but was bombarded with other passengers that wanted to party the entire time. We had many mixed feelings about our tour. ![]()
