Truly the Best Detroit Walking Tour - I learned so much from Kacie. She was an excellent host, and a good photographer. She really knows and loves the city of Detroit. I sent a link to her business to many of my friends encouraging them to book a trip to this welcoming, revitalized city and to book a tour with Kacie. At the end of the tour she suggested a great restaurant for lunch and it did not disappoint. Thank you Kacie for making my trip memorable.

Amazing architecture tour! - Interesting and informative tour! While I had been to Detroit previously, I hadn’t really noticed some of the buildings before so Kacie was great in describing the history and nuances. Also she recommended some good places to eat while in town. She offered to take photos of me in front of some of the landmarks since I was solo which is everything when you’re on your own. Wear comfy shoes since you will cover a lot of ground.

A very reasonably priced opportunity to visit and enjoy time in Detroit. - Since we had taken the tour previously we sent our relatives from Finland with Kacie. They enjoyed the sights, took many photos and were so pleased she spoke slowly and answered their questions making sure they understood her responses.

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.

Disappointed - This was described as a 2 hour tour and turned out to be 75 minutes of time with the guide. This tour was WAY over priced and I’m unlikely to ever book another through TripAdvisor again. If this is “The Best” Detroit historical tour, surely wouldn’t want to see the worst.
