Mackinac Island & The Great Lakes
Experience life in the fast and slow lanes as you venture to where the automobile was born and also visit where it’s been banned since 1898. This tour of Mackinac Island and the Great Lakes gets your engines revving with a visit to Detroit’s Henry Ford Museum to explore where past inventions have fueled the imagination of today’s innovations. Switch gears as you board a ferry for Mackinac Island, the Jewel of the Great Lakes and one of the nation’s most popular summer resorts. With horse-drawn carriages and bicycles as the island’s only means of transportation, you’ll have no choice but to fuel up on lunch at the famous Grand Hotel, military history at the restored Fort Mackinac, and the decadent fudge the charming island is known for. Other sweet detours include the Bavarian town of Frankenmuth, coastal resort of Petoskey, and faster-paced cities of Grand Rapids and Chicago.

Chicago, Illinois, is a vibrant metropolis that combines architectural marvels, rich cultural offerings, and dynamic neighborhoods. Known as the "Windy City," Chicago is home to some of the most iconic landmarks in the United States. The Millennium Park, with its striking Cloud Gate sculpture, popularly known as "The Bean," is a must-see for visitors. The park also hosts various concerts and events throughout the year. The city's architectural heritage is legendary, with tours available that showcase its remarkable skyline. From the historic Chicago Board of Trade Building to the modern Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), Chicago's architecture tells a story of innovation and resilience (Willis Tower). For a deeper dive into its history, the Chicago History Museum offers engaging exhibits that highlight the city's past, from the Great Chicago Fire to its role in jazz and blues. Chicago’s culinary scene is another major draw. From the famous deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs to world-class dining experiences at establishments like Alinea, the city offers a diverse range of gastronomic delights. The city’s food scene reflects its multicultural heritage and innovative spirit. A fun fact about Chicago is that it was the birthplace of the modern skyscraper, with the Home Insurance Building, completed in 1885, often considered the first skyscraper due to its steel frame construction. For those planning a visit, consider exploring the city from May to October, when the weather is pleasant and outdoor activities abound. With its rich blend of culture, architecture, and cuisine, Chicago promises an unforgettable experience for every traveler. |
