We had a great time walking around town, learning about Detroit & visiting spots we would have missed if we hadn’t taken the tour! Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, & provided us with a great experience!
The promo code made it almost worth it

Luckily, the weather was perfect for walking around Detroit, but the tour itself was pretty lame. Once the tour guide started making an argument that Prince haunts the Majestic Theater it became laughable.
Had a great time on my tour

The young man escorting us through downtown was fantastic. Not only did we have a tour filled with historic spooky stories, he also enlightened us on a bit of rock and roll history. Me and my spouse had a wonderful time. Will definitely do again!
OK- but not worth the money.

Lots of walking between sights, sort of a good guide, nothing spooky about it, not a loop so had to walk from ending point all the way back to the parked car which was parked at the beginning (another mile walk back). Weather was great so that was a bonus. Most of the buildings would have been more entertaining in the day light.
Expected more from this tour

For a city with as much history as Detroit, we expected a lot more from this tour. Our tour started late because the guide didn't get there on time and then everything felt rushed from that point forward. The tour ended up being a lot more site seeing of the city, than hearing stories of the past which we were looking forward to. We ended over a mile from where the tour started and were left to find our way back to the start on our own because the guide was doing an extended tour with a few others on the tour who had paid extra for that.
Mediocre at best. Guide...

Mediocre at best. Guide told us at the start this was going to be more of a historical tour than a ghost tour. Interesting information but this is NOT a tour about ghosts or hauntings, it's a night time historical tour.

You don’t get to go inside any historic buildings. You walk on the city streets ( very fast) the guide just tells stories about the building.

The tour was pointless. Our group and it appeared that other groups were looking for ways to slip away. There were no stories that made sense at any of our stops and the only paranormal activity that was offered was that there were some possible flickering lights.
Not informative at all....

Not informative at all. Tour guide should have more of a script to help with stories. Story-telling needs much help. Tour was 2 hours, not 1 hour as listed.
