How To Choose the Perfect Tour in Door County

Deciding what kind of tour to embark on in Door County can feel a bit like choosing from a menu at your favorite restaurant —everything sounds so tempting, it’s hard to pick just one! As a local and a parent, I’ve experienced quite a few of these adventures with my family, and I’d love to share some tips to help you make the best choice for your visit.

1. Consider Your Adventure Level

If you’re someone who loves a good adrenaline rush, kayak tours and segway tours might be right up your alley. Kayaking lets you get up close with nature, paddling through serene waters or exploring sea caves, depending on weather conditions. Segway tours, on the other hand, offer a unique way to zip around and see the sights.

2. Think About Comfort

Not everyone in the family might be up for an athletic endeavor, and that’s perfectly okay! Luxury van tours and trolley tours offer a more laid-back experience. You can enjoy the breathtaking views of Door County’s landscapes and learn about the area’s history and culture, all from the comfort of your seat.

3. Factor In the Kids

Having three kids of my own, I know the importance of picking an activity that keeps them engaged. Trolley tours are fantastic for families. They’re entertaining, informative, and just the right length to keep the little ones from getting antsy. Plus, some tours are themed, which can add an extra layer of fun!

4. Engage With Nature

If you’re a nature lover, consider tours that let you immerse yourself in Door County’s natural beauty . E-bike tours provide a gentle assist up those challenging hills, making it easier to enjoy the great outdoors without tiring out too quickly. And of course, kayak tours offer an intimate experience with the water and wildlife.

5. Look for Something Unique

For a truly unique experience, segway tours can offer an unconventional way to explore Door County’s attractions. It’s something different that can add an exciting story to your travel diary.

6. Duration and Schedule

Consider how much time you want to dedicate to a tour. Some, like the luxury van tours , can span a full day, providing a comprehensive experience of Door County. Others, like the segway or e-bike tours , might offer shorter excursions, leaving you ample time to explore on your own.

7. Don’t Forget the Water

Door County is surrounded by water, making it a prime location for boat cruises . Whether it’s a sunset cruise to end your day with a stunning view or a daytime sightseeing cruise to spot historic lighthouses and waterfront mansions, the water is a central part of the Door County experience.

Choosing the right tour in Door County depends on your interests, the makeup of your travel group, and how you like to experience new places. Whatever you decide, you’re in for a treat. The beauty of Door County is that there’s no wrong choice—each tour offers its own unique slice of this gorgeous peninsula. Happy exploring!

Tips for Taking a Tour in Door County

Exploring Door County through its various tours is a fantastic way to experience the beauty and charm of this unique area. Whether you’re cruising along the shoreline, pedaling through scenic landscapes, or gliding through historic towns, each tour offers its own delightful slice of local life. To make the most of your Door County tour experience, here are some handy tips, including the crucial advice on dressing for the unpredictable weather:

1. Dress in Layers

Door County’s weather can be as varied as its attractions, with mornings starting cool, afternoons getting quite warm, and evenings bringing in a chill from the lake. Dressing in layers allows you to comfortably adjust to these changes. Think a breathable t-shirt, a cozy sweater or fleece, and a windproof jacket. Don’t forget your sunglasses and a hat for those sunny days, and always have a rain jacket handy just in case.

2. Wear Comfortable Footwear

Depending on your tour, you might find yourself walking on uneven cobblestones, sandy beaches, or rocky paths. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is a must. Closed-toe shoes or supportive sandals can keep your feet happy and let you focus on the sights, not on sore toes.

3. Bring Snacks and Water

While some tours might offer refreshments, it’s always a good idea to bring your own water bottle and some snacks, especially if you’re traveling with kids. Staying hydrated and energized is key to enjoying your adventure from start to finish.

4. Don’t Forget Your Camera

Door County is a photographer’s dream, with its stunning landscapes, picturesque towns, and vibrant sunsets. Whether you’re using a camera or your phone, make sure it’s charged and ready to capture those postcard-perfect shots. A portable charger can be a lifesaver for ensuring you don’t miss a photo opportunity.

5. Arrive Early

Arriving early for your tour not only helps ensure a smooth start but also gives you a chance to chat with the guide and perhaps get some insider tips on Door County’s hidden gems. Plus, you’ll get your pick of the best seats!

6. Be Prepared for the Water

If your tour involves getting out on the water, like a kayak or boat cruise, bring along a waterproof bag or case for your belongings, especially your electronics. A quick-dry towel and an extra change of clothes might also come in handy, just in case you get a bit more of Lake Michigan than you bargained for.

7. Respect Local Wildlife and Nature

Door County’s natural beauty is one of its biggest draws. Remember to respect the wildlife and natural settings by staying on marked paths, not feeding the animals, and carrying out any trash you bring in.

8. Keep an Open Mind

Each tour offers a unique perspective of Door County, crafted by local experts passionate about their home. Keep an open mind and be ready to learn something new, whether it’s about the area’s natural history, cultural heritage, or culinary delights.

Following these tips will help ensure that your tour in Door County is comfortable, enjoyable, and full of wonderful memories. With a little preparation, you’re all set to discover the best this charming peninsula has to offer. Enjoy your adventure!

I've enjoyed many trolly tours with Door County Trolly and highly recommend going on them. However, on the April 20, 2024, Spring Blossom Tour it was hard to fully enjoy because of trolly driver. My friends and I don't see each other often and were looking forward to catching up. But at every stop the driver would come sit/stand by us and monopolize our conversation so we couldn't visit with each other. He also repeatedly asked for tips to help pay for his high student loan debt. I believe in leaving tips but this was being so forced on us that it took away from experience.

We took the wine, spirits, and brew tour for a bachelorette party and had an amazing time. I enjoyed most of the samples at each stop, and they were very generous. Our driver was a great guide as well -- he explained the sights, made jokes, and played great music, which made the experience feel like one long party. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Bryon was amazing such an awesome trolly host and driver. When I come back want to travel and take tours with Bryon. Our 20 women bridal party was a blast he made it so fun! Kudos Bryon

Great way to see highlights of Door County! We booked the Wine/Brewery/Distillery and lunch tour on our first day and it was phenomenal. Nice funny tour guide, timely departure, well planned stops and nice guests that joined us on this tour. I highly recommend this company!

We went on the Ghost Tour with Ed and had such a great time! We were running a little late getting there as our reservations said to check in about 30 minutes prior to the tour starting. We were able to call and were told that as long as we got there before the tour starting time, we would be fine. We just made it! The ghost stories were a little spooky, but Ed also made the tour funny and lightened the mood with his personality! It was a fun way to learn about the area that was a little different than the wineries or the cute shops. We made several stops along the tour and at about four of them we actually got out of the trolley and did a little exploring, including the Noble house and a cemetery. While we didn't encounter any ghosts, we would still highly encourage this to anyone interested!

Well worth the price! Amazing hospitality all around. Such a fun day sampling, singing, and checking out the area.

There are eleven light houses in Door County, WS which were needed because of the treacherous waters during the late 1880's when shipping resources from the area was important to the economy. Now many of those light houses are private and not accessible to the public. During our Lighthouse trolley ride we saw four and were able to enter two. Several lighthouses have not been renovated either. What I found interesting is how low they are not like the tall lighthouses I'm used to. The history was interesting and seeing the inside where families of like 9 lived, was unbelievable! We had a nice boxed lunch withBoar's Head lunch meat with our tour. Our driver/guide John, a local, had SO many stories; quite a character! I thought I was on a driving comedy show

We had the best time! 5 star Ronnie was so fun and very entertaining! The wine, spirits and brew tour was great and I will do it again the next time I'm in town!

Door Co. Trolley is a definite must when visiting! We did the scenic tour and our tour guide John was so knowledgeable and entertaining. He is a lifetime local to the Door County area so we appreciated all the "insider knowledge" that was shared and local recommendations. Tickets are affordable and well worth it for the 1.5 hour tour. For anyone thinking about doing this for groups/bachelorette's- we saw at least 6+ bachelorette parties boarding a trolley with cocktails in hand so I'm sure they had an amazing time! The winery/cocktail trolley is on our list for our next visit. :)

Love the trolly. Always have a great time, and the drivers are the best. we have gone three t8mes and can't wait for the next.

The perfect way to get a feel for Door County is to take one of the “Old Time” Door County Trolley Tours. It’s an ideal starting point for your adventures on the peninsula.

Door County Trolley Tours currently has 16 trolley tours, but if you can’t decide which one to take, begin with the 90-minute Narrated Scenic Tour .

The scenery is magnificent! Not only does it take you to cliffside vistas overlooking the islands, but you’ll also learn legends and lore, a little history, and discover some of the best places to wine and dine in the county.

Scenic Trolley Tour Highlights – Fun Facts and Pretty Views

About those cherries.

• Approximately 13 million pounds of cherries are grown annually in Door County: 95% are Montmorency tart cherries; 5% sweet cherries.
• Wisconsin is the 4th largest grower of cherries in the United States. Michigan is first with 60 million a year, Washington State second, and Utah third.

Peninsula State Park

We spent a good portion of the tour in Peninsula State Park (Wisconsin’s most popular state park). One of the reasons for its popularity is the Sunset Bike Path, a 9.6-mile crushed limestone trail running through the boreal forest, cedar wetlands, and meadows out to the beach.

Our guide told us that the winding roads through Peninsula State Park were designed to encourage visitors to meander and take their time.

There are also miles of hiking and biking trails, snowshoe trails, cross-country ski trails, and rugged off-road mountain bike trails. In the winter, the upper roads are closed to cars but open to snowmobiles.

We hopped off our trolley at Sven’s Bluff Overlook (one of the most photographed spots in Door County).

The sweeping view of Green Bay and its coastline is magnificent.

Our trolley tour also took us past the 65-foot Eagle Tower. Visitors may climb the stairs to the top or take the 800-foot ramp to the observation deck.

The view is scrumptious from up there. (This may be something you want to come back and explore later.)

More Fun Facts About Door County

• The Niagara Escarpment is a massive limestone cliff ridge running from New York State (its name comes from the cliffs of Niagara Falls) through Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. It’s the very foundation of Door County.
• Fish Creek was the first big tourist destination in Door County, and early visitors arrived by steamboat.
• When National Geographic published a photograph with a feature entitled “Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula, A Kingdom So Delicious” in 1969, Door County exploded into a wildly popular USA travel destination.
• Door County has 11 lighthouses , four of which can be toured.
• Legend has it that Door County’s name comes from the narrow and treacherous strait between the northern tip of the peninsula and Washington Island. The unpredictable waves and currents and underwater rocks caused many a shipwreck and death over the years. As a result, the passage was dubbed Porte Des Morts (Death’s Door, in English), and the name, though shortened to just ‘Door,’ stuck.
• Summer theater is alive and well in Door County, with two outdoor theaters showing live performances all season long.
• Typically the second or third week of October is the prime leaf-peeping season, and in Door County, the vibrant colors last longer—up to two weeks.

Our trolley ride took us through several charming villages, and our guide shared lots of fun facts and history about each one, as well as recommendations on where to eat.

We learned about seafood boils, supper clubs, farm markets, and more. Here’s a tip for whitefish fans: At the Post Office restaurant, they’ll ask you if you want your fish de-boned!

At the end of the tour, he mentioned the many other Door County Trolley Tours available: food and drink-themed, ghosts, true crime (the six most gruesome murders in the county), a lighthouse tour, holiday-themed, and a shortened family ride for those with young children.
