What a wonderful experience in Detroit! I have lived in Michigan for 20+ years and have only been to a few key places in Detroit (Comerica Park and the Fox theater mainly). This tour provided me with so many ideas, restaurants, and places to come back and check out. We had a short stop at a restaurant for snacks and drinks and we had a really great time. The sunset was beautiful and it was a perfect date night for a young couple. Karin also provided us with a ton of history about Detroit, she is full of knowledge and we loved to hear everything she had to say about the various places we were driving by. We are looking forward to more tours with City Tour Detroit!

Absolutely fantastic experience with City Tour Detroit. The tour is very well-thought-out, rich with fascinating history, and punctuated with stops for some of Detroit’s best culinary experiences.
Karin was our tour guide, and she is a font of knowledge about both the historic and contemporary details of Detroit. She is an excellent ambassador for the city, as well as a gold mine of knowledge about a city so abundant in history, character, and significance.
Excellent tour! Highly recommended! The tour explore the rich historical events that took place in Detroit during the slavery. With a very prepared guide and actors a vivid drama shows how the fugitive slaves were able to find freedom crossing Detroit in their way to Canada.
An outstanding tour! Jason was exceptionally informative and answered just about every question I could think of about Detroit. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the city, and really gave the impression that Detroit never “went away” – but that the spirit of the city remained thanks to the welcoming people who inhabit it. Can’t recommend enough.
Had a wonderful time with Jason and Laurie. So much to learn about this beautiful city. It is a hidden gem! Highly recommended a walking tour so you can get to know Detroit up front!
Paul is a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. He provided lots of info and answered all our questions. Even though it rained and was cold and windy, we had a great time and would do it again! Highly recommend this tour.
