This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful walking tour that showcased some great art pieces and architecture in a small radius. Our tour guide Kacie was able to answer all my questions and was really knowledgeable about detroit and its history. When she heard that I had been considering food tours she provided me a great list of places that highlighted Detroit foods and their cultural districts.

Great history tour! - This was such a great tour! Kasie is very knowledgeable about the history of the city and has a background in arts, so her description of the buildings in downtown was fabulous. She even knew where the marble in the guardian was from 😅 we also stopped by sculptures and I felt I had a timeline of the city by the time we wrapped up. She accommodated a tour last minute. Highly recommend!

A Great Intro to Downtown Detroit - Kacie does a good job on this tour! It is well paced and hits several architectural and public art attractions in Downtown Detroit. If you're in a smaller group she is also willing to customize the tour to include some attractions that are not listed, but close by.

Truly the Best Downtown Detroit Historical Walking Tour! - Fantastic Team Outing! My team and I booked this as something to do before our Holiday dinner, and the whole team thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Kacie was knowledgeable and great at handling all of our questions while providing great insight into the history of Detroit! We got many great pictures of the team at all of the beautiful sights and learned quite a lot as well. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for something to do with your team! We also added in a stop at Michigan Central Station and Kacie helped coordinate the logistics to make it happen for our team!
