Exceptional walking tour! - I have done walking tours in many cities around the world. This is one of the best. Kacie was engaging, incredibly knowledgeable of what of the sites and history of what we were seeing, and able to tailor her comments to the group. If you or your group are in Detroit, this tour is one of the best ways to learn about Detroit's history and its vibrant culture. You'll be glad you did.

An architectural gem! - When travelling alone, it's great to join a tour to see a city from a different side, learn something from the locals and meet new friends. I did all 3 on the tour with Dildora. Detroit is a beautiful architectural gem that I feel is completely undiscovered. I saw some of the most amazing deco buildings in the world. The guardian building took my breath away. Dildora, the tour guide and I ended up sharing brunch. A fantastic way to end a great tour. I would HIGHLY recommend.

Best Walking Tour in my Life!!! - The Walking Tour with Kacie was just excellent!!! I flew in from Chicago to Detroit just to do the walking tour with Kacie and she exceeded my expectaitons! She took so much time and carefully explained everything I wanted to know like an open book. I am the type of guy who asks always follow up questions and who wants to go profoundly to the core of a topic and she answered all questions patiently and with a lot of care to detail. She also managed to strike a great balance between taking fotos / enjyoing the moment and explaining background informations! I really felt that she cared and I can wholeheartedly recommend this walking tour in Detroit!

Definitely worth it! 😎 - I definitely recommend this walk through the history and culture of the city of Detroit. Kacie was sincere and professional in her guidance. Lots of hidden gems in the city that only professionals can bring to us. Thanks and best regards from Iceland! 😎

The tour itself, where we... - The tour itself, where we went, and what we saw was good. And our tour guide was very sweet and hard-working, but her overall knowledge of Detroit and its history was not strong. This was not an inexpensive tour, and both my husband and I were disappointed in the tour guide’s ability to answer some basic questions. It sounded like she was a new tour guide, and if that’s the case, your company should make sure that she’s really ready to fly solo. She she seems bright and articulate, but not fully prepared. You should send her out on a tour with someone else until she’s ready to go by herself. She had her cheat sheet with her, but I think she felt awkward using it. Overall, we liked her, and we liked the tour. But we felt that we overpaid for what we got.

Not worth the price - Very disappointed. The tour guide was very sweet however very soft spoken. Couldn’t hear most of what she was saying. The tour claims 19 stops with admission, most of the stops are outdoor sculptures and the buildings that we went into were free (Huntington Place, GMC, Guardian, and Book Tower). Also the ad claims 10,000 steps we only recorded 6,000. Total tour was around 2 hours. I don’t normally write reviews but I think this was not worth the price and would hate for another tourist to experience.

Architectural tour of detroit - Kacie is a nice girl. She is not very experienced at dealing with the public, Im guessing. She speaks too quietly and not very clearly. Despite some awful weather which made our tour a bit miserable there really wasn't much energy from her to give it any enjoyment. Very expensive waste of time. I was really disappointed - its the only reason Im writing the review.
