5.00Kacie did a wonderful tour highlighting the interesting stories surrounding downtown Detroit. We toured a wide range of important statues, buildings, sculptures and plazas. My favorite was the Guardian Building. The tour was excellent. Well worth it. Thank you to Kacie for a great tour!

5.00This is one of the best walking tours we’ve taken. Kacie is amazing and really packed an entertaining and educational history of the downtown area into two hours. Detroit is spread out, and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with tips on the other things in Detroit that we planned to see on other tours (Michigan Central Station, Belle Isle, Fisher Building) including amazing restaurants for our tastes. Her attentiveness and enthusiasm are off the charts!

5.00This was a unique tour, to be able to understand Detroit’s history. The Underground Railroad and the Indigenous people. It was great to see the beautiful sculpture of Joe Louis. The Guardian Building is fabulous!!! Have been before but always a treat. The tour ended at the Book Building a terrific architectural treat!!! Great way to end the tour with a lovely glass of wine in the lobby bar! Around the corner was a superb surprise, a French restaurant! Le Supreme.
Kacie delivered an engaging, insightful Detroit tour, bringing history, architecture, and culture to life with passion
