Times have been hard for Detroit in recent years, but this is a city built on firm foundations, with a resilient spirit. Take this excellent guided tour, led by a passionate local, to discover Detroit’s fascinating past and how it’s bouncing back from bankruptcy. You’ll see famous city landmarks along the way including the legendary Detroit Athletic Club, the renovated Opera House, the Wurlitzer Building and many more, but more importantly you’ll learn exactly what they mean to Detroit. Find out how the city is regenerating itself creatively, such as through developments like the Campus Martius Park downtown, and the Rosa Parks Transit Center dedicated to a hero of the civil rights movement.
Your Detroit gift experience takes you on to the Compuware Building with its deeply impressive 15-storey atrium, and the vast Renaissance Center, home to the tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere and the headquarters of General Motors. You’ll be wowed by the art-deco skyscraper of the Guardian Building, and take a fun ride on the elevated People Mover. Towards the end of the tour, see parks and music venues that have hosted the likes of Eminem and Bruce Springsteen, before finishing with a well-deserved cold one at one of Detroit’s most popular drinking joints, the Detroit Beer Company, serving a range of delicious locally brewed craft beers. A truly unique and entertaining sightseeing tour of this illustrious city.
