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 ❤️

Great way to experience Detroit - We had an amazing tour with Casey! She was incredibly knowledgeable about Detroit’s architecture and history, sharing fascinating details that really brought the city to life. The 2 hour tour was perfectly timed and fast-paced, making excellent use of every minute so we could see as much as possible. Casey also took us to to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own—unique treasures that made the experience feel truly special. If you’re new to Detroit and want to get your bearings while learning the city’s story, I highly recommend this tour.

Kacie is the best! Wonderful tour! - Kacie was very knowledgable, enthusiastic, and worked very had to be sure that we had a wonderful experience. We loved the whole tour, and have a new appreciation for Detroit. My wife and I live in Ohio, and my daughter (visiting from San Antonio) went with us. Being close, in Ohio, we never poked around in Detroit, but this taste of the city certainly left us with a desire to plan some more time there. Big thanks to Kacie! This is just what I was hoping for!

Detroit’s Heartbeat in Two Hours - I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Kacie! She is a well-informed, enthusiastic and engaging tour guide, clearly proud of her city - deservedly so in my opinion. Her thoughtfully curated itinerary included well-known highlights as well as hidden historical and artistic gems, like Hubert Massey's wonderful fresco, “Detroit: Crossroad of Innovation” in Huntington Place, that echoes Diego Rivera's famous murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts. We visited several of the city's architectural gems, and I would have liked even more of these, but two hours was long enough and I wouldn't have left anything out. Kacie's walk gave me a much deeper appreciation for Detroit's illustrious past, energetic present and my opinion, bright future. Highly recommended!
