I moved here 35 years ago & still remember my trips to Hudsons, Saks, The London Chop House, The Caucus Club etc. even the Ren Cen when it wasn’t user friendly! and am extremely excited to learn that there is a positive push for the return of residential, retail, dining & commerce. Hopefully this will significantly enhance the partnership between the City and the suburbs, particularly the communities along the Woodward corridor. Thank you Jeanette, it was great fun and your own enthusiasm added much enjoyment to the outing. Kind regards, Gillian”

“Very good tour, and learned a lot about Detroit. Would like to take one to other areas of the city sometime.”

“Loved the tour and suggested that our broker offer them quarterly for any new families who have moved to our area. I grew up in Detroit and LOVE Detroit. You did an awesome job!!!!!”

“You were wonderful!!”

“It was terrific. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would have liked to spent a little more time at a couple of the stops.”

“GREAT tour – Thank you Jeanette!!!”

“Although I have never been uncomfortable coming to Detroit, we just don’t frequently make the effort. The tour was very motivating and informative. My daughter and I have a plan to go to “Good Girls go to Paris” on Sunday and then to Mass and St. Peter & Paul’s. Thanks for such a fun experience!”

“I had a great time meeting you; and, especially learning more about the City. Thank you so much for a delightful day in Detroit!”

“Impressive, both the guide & driver were the best.”

“greatly appreciate the enthusiasm of our tour guide! (as group tours like these tend to be a handful of quiet people… but our guide did not seem bothered by our lack of conversation!)”

I know you’ve seen a lot about us on the Detroit 2020 lately. We gave a tour to 13 suburbanites who were skeptical of Detroit.

Some were scared of the city and it’s reputation, some just thought it had nothing to offer them. We took them on a 4 hour tour to really show them what Detroit was like. And wow, were they ever impressed! Check out the links or video’s below, then come on a tour and see if we can change, expand or just solidify your perceptions of Detroit! All tours can be found here, if you want to take a tour like they did, check out our Greater Downtown Community Bus Tour! Or book a private tour!
