Kinza gave me the best tour of Detroit anyone could ask for! She shared fascinating historical information along with some fun side stories that really brought the city to life. She also gave me some of the best restaurant recommendations around the city. There’s no doubt that Kinza gives the best tours in Detroit and will leave you feeling like you have a genuine understanding of just how awesome the city truly is!
A somewhat interesting tour, although the Guardian building (shown in the listing) is the only one that was particularly interesting. Guide was knowledgeable, and when she didn't know, said so (a couple times leading her to Google something for me). Total tour time was 90 minutes, so this was a particularly pricey tour compared to other walking tours I've done in other cities.
tours in other cities can cost less due to volume, here in Detroit I do not have that advantage I have to charge what I charge in order to show up for 1 person which I have done on many many occasions. You will remember that I was the only tour guide that was out running tours yesterday (in the rain mind you) and we literally did not encounter another tour guide the entire time You are hurting future travelers by helping get rid of an activity that is often a saving grace for last minute bookings, a highlight of many people's visit to Detroit, and done by someone who is often cited as the best tour guide in the US! we ended early as your wife could not keep up with the physical demands of the tour and neither could you - and we still covered the entire circuit while being mindful of your physical health! as always best way to book is direct thru my website
Our guide is very knowledge and friendly and actually did a very good job at handling people that were a "opinionated" - I give her a lot of credit !
Great history and enthusiasm. If possible, add one or two more interiors.
Done! Thanks :)
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.
