DESCRIPTION:Prepare to look over your shoulder on this one-of-a-kind walking tour through the streets of Grand Rapids after dark. Named by the Detroit Free Press as one of Michigan's ghost tours to check out, this is a journey through the eerie, the unexplained, and the downright spine-chilling side of a city you thought you knew. You'll hear about the souls that still wander the buildings where they met their untimely ends, a murdered woman who continues to terrify the people working in her former building, an ill-mannered janitor still tidying up in the afterlife, and a Grand Rapids pioneer who made absolutely sure nobody would forget him.\nThis is far more than a ghost tour, it's a history lesson wrapped in a mystery, told by a guide who genuinely loves this city and knows every haunted corner of it. The tour runs year-round, making it a great option whatever the season, and works beautifully for date nights, bachelorette parties, birthday groups, and brave families alike. Stories are continuously researched and refreshed, so even returning guests can expect something new.\n

DESCRIPTION:Grand Rapids has earned its reputation as a creative powerhouse, and nowhere is that more visible than on its streets. With over 300 murals painted on walls, sidewalks, electrical boxes, alleyways, and crosswalks, this walking tour is a feast for the eyes from start to finish. Your guide will lead you through hidden works that most people walk right past, share the fascinating backstories behind the pieces, and reveal little-known facts, like the work that was only possible because the artist had a construction accident.\nWorld-renowned sculptures by Alexander Calder and Maya Lin anchor the route, and you'll hear the controversies, inspirations, and stories behind each one. The tour also explores pieces left in the city by ArtPrize, one of the most attended public art events in the world, with some entries tucked into spots you'd never find on your own. During ArtPrize season (late September to mid-October), the route comes alive with competition entries. A perfect tour for art lovers, curious explorers, and anyone who wants to see Grand Rapids at its most creative.\n

DESCRIPTION:This is an architecture lover's dream, but it's even better than that. The real treasure of Grand Rapids' historic churches isn't just in the soaring vaulted ceilings, the stained-glass windows imported from the oldest workshop in Germany, or the organ people travel from all over Michigan to hear. It's in the stories of the people who built them: struggling immigrants who gave more than they could afford, American-born Polish who returned to Europe to fight under Poland's flag, and the remarkable fact that boulders dragged from the depths of the Grand River in the mid-1800s are still holding church walls strong today.\nGrand Rapids' only church tour visits some of the city's most magnificent houses of worship, including the Cathedral of St. Andrew with its towering spires and breathtaking vaulted ceilings, and the gothic St. Mark's Episcopal, its walls built from river boulders pulled from the very rapids that gave the city its name. Each church tells a different story about the immigrant communities that made Grand Rapids what it is.\n

DESCRIPTION:follows its banks to explore exactly why. What began as a vital lifeline for Native Americans and a launchpad for West Michigan's growth has become the beating heart of a modern city, and there's still plenty of history, mystery, and hidden art to discover along the way. Learn what happened to the rapids that gave Grand Rapids its name, hear about a national record that the city would probably rather forget, and find out how the river continues to shape the city's growth, with development now jumping to the Westside.\nAlong the route your guide will point out hidden artwork, historic riverside sites, and the wildlife that shares this stretch of water with the rest of the city. It's a beautiful walk at any time of year, and one that gives you a genuine sense of how deeply connected Grand Rapids is to this river, past, present, and future. Perfect for those who love history, architecture, nature, and the kinds of stories that don't make it into the guidebooks.\n

People travel from across the country to taste what grows within 25 miles of Lake Michigan, wines shaped by diverse soils created by the ice age, clean Great Lakes water, and the passion of winemakers who know exactly what they're doing.

The tour is accommodating for guests under 21 with an alcohol-free option available on request. For those who want to venture further afield, private tours extend into southwest Michigan and all the way north to the Traverse City wine region.\n

DESCRIPTION:Michigan holds a spirited piece of history: it was the very first state in the US to end Prohibition in 1933. That tradition of quality craftsmanship is very much alive today, West Michigan is now among the top five areas in the entire country for local distilleries, and the community spirit here means breweries and distilleries often share barrels to create flavor profiles unlike anything else. On this four-hour walking tour, you'll visit three excellent distilleries and sample gins, bourbons, vodkas, and whiskeys crafted from Michigan-grown grains and locally sourced fruits, with Lake Michigan's clean water playing its own quiet role in every bottle.\nDistillery staff guide you through each tasting, sharing the ins and outs of the production process and helping you understand how regional ingredients shape the flavors in your glass. Between stops, your Tours Around Michigan guide keeps things lively with city history and stories that connect Grand Rapids' past to the craft spirits scene thriving on its streets today. Whether you're a whiskey aficionado or simply someone who appreciates something a little stronger than beer, this is a memorable, educational, and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.\n
