While our guide was friendly- I felt the tour was lacking a lot of historical information about our great city. Besides Grand Trunk I felt like the other bars were haphazardly selected with no real purpose or connection to the overall tour. I thought we were walking all the way down to LCA where she would share info about Comerica, ford field, and the historical church on the corner. We had great people on the tour with us so we made the best of it but I would not recommend this tour to anyone else.
Walking bar tour!

We walked to 4 different bars, also stopped for ice cream. Jeff Fritz made the experience enjoyable, as a former Second City cast member, he was very engaging and funny. Loved the time we spent with him!
