This West Michigan Tour is Ranked One of the Best in the US

Some people wait until they travel out of town or out of state before they enjoy a good tourist destination.

But we here in West Michigan have the luxury of having one of America's best tours right in our own back yard. So if you're looking for something fun to get into the next time you're itching to get out of the house, you don't have to drain your bank account on plane tickets or tons of gas to have some fun.

According to The Discoverer, one of the top 10 tours in the country, and West Michigan's best ranked tours is... The Grand Rapids Beer Tours

While this one isn't family friendly per se, it's super fun for you and your favorite friends to check out if you haven't already. They offer public tours throughout the year, and you can schedule one if you'd rather do something a little more private with your crew.

Grand Rapids Beer Tours takes beer lovers on a trip throughout Grand Rapids and around West Michigan, stopping at the best breweries along the way.

Over the course of six hours, you'll get to visit 12 different beer samples, in addition to learning the history of Grand Rapids, from the Prohibition Era to the recent rise of craft brew.

And while you can visit all of our great regional breweries on your own, this tour allows you to do it with someone else behind the wheel and in charge of scheduling, so it just makes it that much easier for you to grab a group of friends and go.
