we had an amazing time! Cristy was our driver and she was just as awesome this year as she was last year. I would recommend this service to anyone and in fact had recommended it to a couple locals when I stopped in to use the bank the morning of our wine tasting tour. I plan to book for next year as soon as I am done writing this review!
Bay Life Getaways/Designated Driver TC is amazing. I have used them several times and they have always been excellent. Christi is our favorite driver!
We had an enjoyable wine tour on Old Mission Peninsula with Michelle as our driver. She was flexible with scheduling and helped to make it a great day with our dog!
The best service. Worth every penny and it wasn’t even that much. 4 of us split it. I will definitely use this company again.
We had a great experience with our designated driver, Michelle! She was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a great wine tour! Very helpful and friendly. We loved the fact that she met us right at our rental condo. We did not have to drive at all to a separate meeting spot. Highly recommend this service!
This is our 3rd time utilizing designated driver and recommend their services to everyone! Christi and Michelle are amazing to work with. Help coordinate the day if you need but allow the flexibility and fun we want. Driving is safe and reliable!
Our driver, Kristin, was fantastic, fun, and friendly. She happily accommodated a couple of our minor last minute changes and was an excellent driver in the nighttime rain storms. This is the third time I've used DDTC and each time has been great. They get you to & from your destination(s), in the comfort of your own car, safely and responsibly. An added bonus is the freedom to leave unneeded coats, purses, etc in the car because it's YOUR CAR. Brilliant business plan! I enthusiastically recommend Designated Driver TC to anyone seeking a car service for any day (or night) out - not just wine tours. In fact, of the three times I've used them, none have been for wine tours. They're available for dinners, concerts, anything locally. They help us all stay safe on the road. Be smart and hire them, don't be dumb and get a DUI, silly.
Kristin was fabulous! She was so accommodating and fun to talk to. We highly recommend her and will definitely come back :)
If you have never used Designated Driver, please do. They take care of everything and all you have to do is sit back in the comfort of your own vehicle and enjoy the day. Cameron was our driver for the second year in a row and he is great!! We highly recommend requesting him! He is very engaging with the guests and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing him again and catching up. He made our day that much better. Thanks for another fabulous day on the peninsula!!
We had a great day with Michelle. She was early and we set off on our day together. She was a very good driver, she made sure we were settled and seated in every winery (even saved us seats in some places), and then picked us up. She also took photos for us too! She gave us interesting facts about the wineries and Traverse City and she was super personable. We loved our day with her and would definitely book again!
Very fun safe way to tour multiple wineries. Very timely and friendly driver with flexible schedule.
This is our 3rd time using designated driver/bay life getaways for our wine tours. It’s been amazing every time! Christi is so much fun and our favorite driver!
Royce our driver was super nice! The wine tastings were good. Wish they gave a little history on the wineries but all else was nice.
Our driver was awesome! Great company, good driver, and we felt safe. The company picked some great venues for us! We would use this company again!
John was just perfect We were very comfortable with him- it was as casual as being with family. He was knowledgeable about the area and our appointments with the wineries were completed with ease. It was just a pleasant and enjoyable evening. Thank you John!
Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She made sure our needs were met the entire day and was so kind to us! We were able to adjust some plans during the day and had a great time. Thank you so much!
Christy was outstanding! She was professional and very reliable. We loved spending our day with her. Definitely will recommend this service!
Great peace of mind to have someone else drive you for wine tasting! Our driver was fun, flexible and tailored our trip to what we wanted.
Our driver Dave helped give us the perfect girls day winery experience by making sure we had fun and made it home safe. He arrived early, provided great recommendations to our winery schedule, allowed us ample time to enjoy each of our stops and was a joy to be around. Thank you Dave!
Christy was fantastic!! My daughter and her stepmom visited the wineries on Leelanau while the guys watched football. We had the best time! Christy was fantastic and was a champ even with the road conditions!!! We will definitely use your service again!!!
We had a great time with Christi! She was fantastic - she got us everywhere safely, recommended food (even picked it up and brought it to us so we can stay at the winery), and was really fun!
We had a great time, and we’re able to relax and enjoy the day! John was great! He gave suggestions, and helped us find tables at all of the wineries. I would recommend booking with them to anyone.
Great company! Really made our day go smoothly so my friends and I could focus on spending time together. Christi was our driver and she was awesome! Will definitely use again!
Christi is the best! Very personable felt like she was a really good friend. She helped us make decisions on where to go, how long we would need to stay. When we changed times and stayed longer at one point lace she was able to bump the next teservation. Thank you so much Christi we will tell all our friends about you! ❤️
We enjoyed the personalized travel experience. Our driver Royce was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area and vineyards. We traveled as a group of 6 (3 couples), and having a personal designated driver allowed for all of us to have a great experience and remain safe. Even when we added some stops to our original plan our driver was very accommodating.
Christi was absolutely fantastic! We decided to book Designated Driver TC for our minimoon winery tour, and we are so glad we did. We were able to enjoy our day with peace of mind that we would make it back safely. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the different wineries, and was just so sweet and professional. We will definitely be using their services next time we come up!
The interaction with the company was great, from setting up the itinerary to the actual drive itself, we had such a fun, relaxing time. Christi was so helpful the whole time and very easy-going. A big bonus that we realized halfway into the trip is whatever wine you buy will be already packed in your car, ready to go for whenever you leave TC. Already recommended to friends.
Kevin was our designated driver and he was great! He was very friendly and personable. He took good care of my vehicle, communicated well with us on time and didn't make us feel rushed. He also made sure we were accommodated at Brys. I definitely would book designated driver again to have piece of mind of making it back to our hotel safely after drinking wine all day!
John was so friendly and accommodating on our tour. The itinerary that was planned was perfect for my husband and I with a nice mix of local wineries and John kept us on schedule with gentle reminders when it was time to get moving. Our tour ended with a stop at a local ice cream parlor which John reminded us was only possible because we booked a private tour with Designated Driver. Thanks for a great afternoon!
Cristi was amazing! So friendly and helpful. Drove us all around and kept us on track. She is so easy going and fun, felt like I had a friend driving for us. Being able to relax and enjoy the beautiful day and not worry about driving was well worth every penny.
Our experience with Designated Driver TC was spectacular. We had planned to hit 5 wineries but decided to switch it up and just do 4, the all was in our court and that alone was so nice! We have done large group tour buses, join in tours and tours on our own. We were a group of 7 ladies exploring Old Mission, it was a blast. Our driver, Christi, was so easy to chat with and very personable! We will absolutely use the service our next trip and hope Christi will be available to show us a great time!
Driver never showed up and waiting for a refund. They text me about 1.30 after the pick up time and said their was a kid communication
We had a great time exploring wineries on Leelanau Peninsula. Christi was our driver and she was awesome! Very accommodating and had great suggestions. I would highly recommend Designated Driver TC!
Royce was our DD for our winery trips. Such an amazing host and a kind man. We had a lot of fun and without a doubt, would not hesitate to use this company (and Royce’s driving services) again! Thanks for making our day worry free and enjoyable!! 100/10!
Christi was phenomenal! We had an awesome time, Christi was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We will definitely request her again, this is the way to go! We loved the flexibility of having our own car with Christi’s expertise!
My girlfriend Nicki had a TC wine tour on her bucket list and our driver Dave did a great job making it a fun and enjoyable day.. We both had a blast with stops at Mari, Peninsula Cellars, Chateau Grand Traverse, and Bowers Harbor. We would definitely recommend your service to all. Thanks again, Dave!
Amazing experience! Dave was fantastic and kept us on time! Highly recommend! They were very communicative & flexible!
This is a fantastic option to have your friends and family be able to partake in wine and cider tastings at the many wineries on the peninsula. Our driver was friendly and from the area. He drove us to the four wineries we had pre-selected, sat in the car while we enjoyed the different wine/cider tastings, and then returned us to our hotel. By driving our car we were able to leave all of our purchases in the trunk. Overall a fantastic experience!
Christi was amazing! It was great to enjoy our wine tour without having to worry about driving ourselves around. We could indulge in all of the wine and not worry about how we were going to get home. Communication was perfect leading up to our wine tour and during! 10/10 would recommend for your next TC wine tour!!
This was our second time using DDTC! Once again- We had the best time! Christi was our driver and she was a blast. She had the best recommendations on which wineries we’d like best based on our wants. She came and found us at each stop to take some group pics for us and was just a lot of fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 10/10 recommend using DDTC for your next wine tasting.
We had an amazing afternoon! Skylar was very informative and friendly, and got us to our destinations safely. When we discovered a time issue with the itinerary, Skylar got on the phone and fixed it for us. We love this service! We were able to kick back and have fun and notnworry about driving. We will be back tonise again in the future!!
Michelle was amazing!! The roads were super snowy and slippery and I was so grateful to have her as our DD. She was knowledgeable about the area and the wineries, and also handled the weather like a champ. Thanks for making our day so great!!
everything was great!!!! Jessica was amazing, organized, attentive, and best photographer around. best experience
Jessica was a great driver! We appreciated her making sure our reservations were in order as well as taking photos for us. This my second time using this service. I will absolutely use it again.
Michelle was a great driver/tour guide and we so appreciated all of her insights. I highly recommend Designated Driver TC.
Wonderful experience! Had so so much fun! Our driver was very knowledgeable about the area, wineries, and was super flexible for how long we wanted to stay at each one!
From the moment we signed up for this service it was a FIRST rate experience. Jessica is amazing. Communication and service is top notch. She is knowledgeable and professional. We had a great time and fantastic experience. Can't wait to use her company again!
The driver was very professional and came on time . Would definitely use this service again!! We felt at ease knowing we didn’t have to worry about driving
We had Jessica as a driver who took us to Interlochen for a concert. She was an awesome and fun driver! Will Certainly is designated driver and Jessica again!
