Was a great experience walking around Detroit and learning more about the city. Our tour guide was great and had a lot of interesting information about Detroit and the history of the city.
Kacie was wonderful! Very knowledgable and friendly! Great information about the city and history. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Enjoyed seeing all the renovated areas especially love that the old buildings with amazing artwork are being kept and not torn down. We learned a lot about the history of Detroit.
Very professional, knowledgeable and prompt guide! We booked this the day of the tour and were very happy with the overall experience. Learned a lot about the city and had a good time!
I only had one afternoon to explore downtown Detroit. Kacie was so knowledgeable and showed me so many things that I wouldn't have had on my own. She was great tour guide and well worth it. I recommended her to a friend who s taking the tour tomorrow.
Very informative, very personable guide. Easy to find meetup location and walking pace. Beautiful and historic buildings.
My family was born and raised not far from downtown, but left in the early 1980's. We were thrilled with the details this tour provided. I was especially surprised by how much information we got just from walking through the convention center. But the best part of the tour is going into the lobbies of the downtown buildings. We've been to cities all over the world and Detroit ranks right up there with its "Wow Factor." Our guide was well-informed and able to answer any questions we had.
Kathleen you must have super high standards, I wish I knew what would have gotten us to that last star, I don't see any feedback for improvement or what could have been done better please know that we work really hard to make this an amazing experience for every traveler and any review less than 5 stars loses us about 25% of our future business - which as a small business is the difference between staying open or closing hopefully in the future you'll be more generous with your stars!
Quick taste, and informative. However, a whole lot of downtown and a whole lot of history. I had no idea that Detroit had some art installations in public places.
Very friendly guide. I learned a lot. Many things that I would never have seen if I had not taken this tour. I highly recommend it!
Kacie was great! Very knowledgeable , friendly would recommend her to friends.
