Excellent tour of downtown Detroit - My friend and I truly enjoyed our tour of downtown Detroit led by Kacie. She was very welcoming and professional, with excellent knowledge of the sites and buildings we visited. I was so interested that I didn't notice the winter weather. Kacie shows a deep appreciation of Detoit. We covered and learned a lot in 2 hours! Highly recommend.

Tour was great! - Such a wonderful way to learn more about Detroit, it’s History, and where Detroit is headed. Lots of great insight for our quick visit. Was definitely able to see, and learn more then if we just tried to wander around ourselves. Sooooo worth it! 10/10

Excellent - Hello all, this is one of the best sight seeing tours I have ever had. (I’m from a little town called Ignacio, Colorado.) First of all, I was running late and she called me to make sure I was coming. Thankfully I got the call! Surprisingly, I had a solo tour. KC was very personable. She greeted me with a smile and always said you look good as she took my pictures each time. I liked that she was direct and allowed me to ask a lot of questions. Which she had answers to. Her guidance for food was thoughtful. Over all KC my tour guide was delightful and filled me with knowledge of this city called Detroit! I will be telling my children of my trip and bringing them gifts from this beautiful city. Before going I would like to say, KC brings more information than you can remember and had a kind spirit. Signed…visitor from the four corners.

Lovely tour of downtown Detroit - Kacie did an excellent job on this tour. She is very knowledgeable, patient and humble and very accommodating. Never knew about some of the little details that she furnished on some of the sites we visited. My only suggestion is that she expands this to a full day tour covering more areas, a longer river walk, the renovated Michigan central station, the mono rail people mover ride for a view of downtown from above, trip to Belle island, etc. Do yourself a favor, check her out ❤️

The highlight of the tour... - The highlight of the tour for me was going inside the Guardian building, but it was neat to learn about the history of Detroit through some of the outdoor plazas and sculptures. Kacie was informed and interesting, but she spoke so quickly it was hard to understand her sometimes. It also felt like she had given the tour many times before (which I'm sure she had).
