never having to ask, “where should we go next?” With pickup locations throughout the
Greater Detroit metro area, including Dearborn and Roseville, we make it
easy to reach some of the Midwest’s most memorable destinations — without the
hassle of driving, parking, or planning every detail yourself.From island getaways and Bavarian charm to bright casino floors and big-city sightseeing,
here’s a look at some of the best places to visit with Travel Treasures and Tours, and
what makes each one worth the trip.
Mackinac Island
One of Michigan’s most iconic destinations, Mackinac Island is a
must-visit for any traveler. Our Mackinac Island bus tour includes ferry tickets and a
guided tour of the car-free island, where horse-drawn carriages, historic forts, and
stunning Great Lakes views set the scene. We also offer trips built around the annual
Mackinac Bridgewalk, with an overnight stay at Kewadin Casino Hotel in
Sault Ste. Marie for travelers who want to make a weekend of it.
Frankenmuth
Known for its Bavarian charm, Frankenmuth is one of our most popular
day-trip destinations year-round. Cruise the Cass River aboard the Bavarian Belle
Riverboat, enjoy a hearty meal at one of the town’s famous restaurants, and spend your
free time browsing the unique shops that line Main Street — including the
world-famous Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland.
Put-in-Bay, Ohio
There’s no doubt that Put-in-Bay, Ohio is one of the most unique
places you’ll ever visit. This Lake Erie island getaway is packed with history, lake
views, and small-town island charm, making it a favorite warm-weather escape for our
travelers.
Traverse City
Visit during peak season for the National Cherry Festival, explore
local markets, and enjoy some of the region’s best wines and dining. In spring, our
Traverse City Cherry Blossoms Tour takes in the breathtaking blossoms
along Grand Traverse Bay, with stops at local wineries and charming small towns along
the way.
Detroit City Tours
Whether you’re a longtime resident or a first-time visitor, our guided
Detroit city tours help you rediscover the Motor City. Explore the
Detroit Institute of Arts, historic Belle Isle, and the famous Motown Museum, or
experience the vibrant culture of neighborhoods like Greektown and Mexicantown —
all on one enriching day trip.
Chicago
For travelers looking for a bigger city escape, our Chicago Sightseeing
Overnighter is a fan favorite. Spend a weekend taking in the skyline,
lakefront, and world-class shopping and dining of one of the Midwest’s greatest cities
— all without worrying about the drive.
Niagara Falls
Every winter, we offer a festive two-day escape to Niagara Falls,
combining the natural wonder of the falls with the excitement of nearby casino gaming.
It’s one of our most requested overnight trips and tends to sell out quickly, so early
booking is a must.

Midwest’s best gaming destinations:
- FireKeepers Casino (Battle Creek) — A favorite for both day trips and overnight stays.

- Four Winds Casino — Paired on select overnight trips with a stop at FireKeepers.
Live Shows & Theater

region’s best performance venues, including the Purple Rose Theatre
in Chelsea (founded by actor Jeff Daniels) and the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra.

shopping trips take travelers to favorites like Birch Run Premium
Outlets and various Detroit-area shopping districts, letting our motorcoaches
handle the driving while you handle the browsing.
