4.00It was ok, the guide was very knowledgable and its always nice being on the water. I wanted a more natural resources/historical orientated tour but we were up the weekend prior to the other boat tours starting so had to do this one. I don't necessarily care about the houses they talked about but it was a nice ride & it went by the eagle bluff lighthouse. Midges were really bad and it wasn't really on the dock so much but when you get out to the water it was super bad. People where covered in them. I don't think I'd do another tour in May in the Door. My mom and sister who do not like bugs it kind of ruined it for them.
There is some great and...
