The “Spirit” of a place or thing is not necessarily a religious or mystic term. For us, “Spirit” describes the living element that remains from History, from Cultural Impact, and from Human interaction with a place or thing. The “Circle” is the diverse and vibrant area surrounding, and including, the Great Lakes of North America. First Nations, Exploration, Conquest, Women’s Rights, the Underground Railroad, Industry, Economic and Environmental Impact…these are just a few of elements that form the “Circle” we explore and experience.

Underground Railroad

Living History
People remember how the tour made them feel…
Reviews from guests on various past programs. We welcome the good feedback, and learn from the not-so-good reviews, which fortunately are few and far-between.

“Guardians of the Great Lakes”
Lighthouse Tour Experience
“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need never be lived again.”
Maya Angelou
High quality and Fair Pricing
Few people expect something for nothing. Many people have a price line that, for them, is what they hope to spend. What we hope to deliver is an experience that exceeds your expectations, leaves you wanting more, and making you feel that your money was well-spent.
A Resume of Happy Guests
“Peter could make a tour of a landfill interesting” This is an actual review, and our favorite take on what the guest experienced. It reminds us that there is great value in getting people excited, connected and curious. The Tour is just the start, many of our guests return home and continue the lesson. It only takes a spark…
Delivered with no missing parts
We deliver what we promise. We ensure every guest has the full experience and that nobody leaves unhappy. That takes commitment, and we definitely have the commitment to make it work!
