Detroit is most often known as Motor City, but its rich history and vibrant food scene influenced by immigration and innovation, is what makes Detroit one of the most vibrant cities in America with a delicious food scene. Enjoy the only Detroit food tour that serves up full-sized tastings of the city’s must-try classics – all while you explore the rich history and culture behind them.
On this tour, led by a local guide, you will experience a blend of iconic flavors, urban landmarks, and local gems. Once a thriving industrial city, Detroit has seen a Renaissance and you get to experience this evolving and dynamic city like a local.
Begin your tour at a Michelin-rated building once known as the “Cathedral of Finance.” Then travel with us in a small-group setting as we experience places such as an activated alley, boutique businesses, some of the most iconic D-town buildings, and some newly-refurbished landmarks, too. In this delicious tour, you will have some Detroit-style pizza, try the city’s favorite fizzy sodas, two delicious desserts, some crunchy potato chips, and you guessed it, a Detroit Coney hot dog!
We can’t show you all the highlights unless we give you the opportunity to see and take insta-worthy shots at Detroit’s most iconic spots including Campus Martius, the Spirit of Detroit, other notable sculpture and art, and, of course, you will get a view of Canada, too.
You have heard all the wonderful things you can do in the D, and now you can experience the most iconic foods and places – all in this one tour. It is sure to be a “hit!”
