We either step on a group’s bus or we provide the tour bus and an experienced step on tour guide will give an entertaining five to seven hour tour from our list of prepared tours. We will plan the day and meals around the theme of the trip.
Groups of all sizes travel on specialty tours
Whether it is a church, school, senior citizens or the home schooled, it’s a niche that is growing as people are seeking ways to travel and have fun on a fixed budget.
I got the idea for creating Step On Bus Tours because of a client that I promote and market in the far corner of southwest Michigan – a fascinating part of the state punctuated with history and loaded with the quaint charm of the Amish mixed with friendly city walks and fabulous art and monuments.
Tours are great for religious or school groups, seniors, family reunions, employee trips, scouts, history buffs and more. Your guide will be articulate and experienced in conducting your tour, and can even dress in character upon request. This is your chance to learn more about the state of Michigan and its interesting facts.
Then I started getting calls from church group interested in me providing tours for members of their congregation. I absolutely love it and have so much fun giving tours. My nature is generally curious, and it all started when I was visiting my customer in Three Rivers and I traveled from my home in Goodrich across I-69 to 94 west and south on US 131. I learned that the highways were actually established by the Native American tribes and some were also used as an Underground Railroad passage. Once learned, I scoured the libraries and historical societies for more details. I can never stop learning.
Amish, Arts, and Adventure - Meet the Amish in their homes and enjoy an Amish meal. Walk down the streets of Sturgis and visit the quaint shops offering one-of-a-kind merchandise such as oak furniture and hand-made quilts. Experience this unique world of horse and buggies, and mouth-watering home cooked Amish meals. There is something here for everyone.
Ghosts, Goblins, and Gremlins – Get spooked! Enjoy entertaining information about the ghoulish facts and folklore of the streets, villages, and history of River Country. Trailing the haunted fields, The Mendon River where the ghosts of Pottawattamie Indians have been sighted, visiting the hair-raising “Purgatory”
