Must do tour - We spent almost 2 hours walking around Detroit. The tour was casual, informative and a great dialogue happened. More of a conversation.

Learning and walking in a beautiful city. - The walking tour is a fun way to see downtown Detroit. Our guide was very personable and informative. The tour moves fast and, in our case, the group was small. Highly recommend!

Thanks Kacie! You sold me on Detroit. - Kacie definitely knows her way around Detroit! I was thinking about moving to the area and decided to see the city from a local's eyes. Whatever tour you take, Kacie will have fascinating local history (including art history!) and knows enough about the Detroit food scene to make sure you eat well for your entire stay.

Amazing Downtown Detroit Tour - When visiting Detroit, add this tour to your itinerary. My wife and I got so much more than expected out of this tour. Our tour guide/owner (Kacie) was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and full of energy. She served as our tour guide, photographer, and food critic. So much to see.

Awesome Walking Tour! - So glad I chose this walking tour over the others! Saw so many cool things in downtown Detroit that I didn't even know about. Kacie was an excellent resource and considerate of how we used our time (and need for rest breaks!). She ended our tour at the spectacular Guardian Bank Building and we were in awe of its beauty and history. Thank you Kacie!!

Great Look at Downtown Detroit - This was a very interesting tour of downtown Detroit. I learned about older and more recent history of the city as well as about the architecture of many of the city's buildings -- most older, but some newer. The tour guide was very friendly and, as I was the only person on the tour, they shaped our timing and the content to my interests.
