Detroit History Tours

Enjoyable afternoon in the city today! Beautiful day for a luxury coach tour of the fine architectural gems that adorn the City of Detroit. In the early 1900’s the growing boom of auto manufacturing and new business ventures brought creative vision by Albert Kahn and his team of designers In the commercial building industry. We were introduced to many areas of Detroit that have magnificent structural architecture, works of art themselves,, and areas I have never visited before. Having no connection to architecture, but a deep interest in the history of our region, it was most enjoyable afternoon. Great respect for our very knowledgeable tour guide who made the tour fun and interesting at every corner!! Thank you all!!

Bailey was an incredible and energetic tour guide to my industry association group. As a person who has come to Detroit for much of my life… but (sadly) has rarely “looked up,” my mind was blown with the amount of history and art we learned about in just a few short hours with Bailey. Highly recommend! And thanks again, Bailey!

We had an absolutely amazing time on our Detroit History Tour of Belle Isle and Michigan Central Station! From start to finish, it was engaging, educational, and so well-executed. Our group left with a newfound appreciation for the city’s rich past and the exciting transformation happening right now. Belle Isle was stunning — the stories behind the architecture, landmarks, and hidden corners were brought to life by our guide’s passion and knowledge. Standing inside the historic Michigan Central Station was truly unforgettable. It’s one thing to read about Detroit’s legacy, but it’s another to walk through it and feel it. Our guide struck the perfect balance between fun and informative, and they tailored the experience beautifully for our group. Everyone walked away talking about how inspired they felt. The tour was seamless, well-paced, and full of unexpected gems. Highly recommend this to groups looking to do something meaningful, unique, and memorable in Detroit.

Bailey is well-versed in Detroit (and Hamtramck and Highland Park) history, which she brings to life in fun and informative tours. We loved the Crimes and Misdemeanors tour, learning much about prohibition and the gang activities which grew from it. We also enjoyed stepping up to the bar at Bumbo’s and Abick’s; we learned some great history about the local bars. Very comfortable bus tour. Ideal for a great date night or fun with a group of friends. Well worth the price, which was reasonable.

Best tour company ever. Very knowledgeable and friendly and very nice busses with bathrooms onboard.

These tours are really interesting and so much fun! I've lived in the metro Detroit area all my life and am amazed by the things I never knew about the city. Bailey makes it so interesting that the time just flies by! It's a great value for the money. The busses are modern, clean and safe. Parking is on the street but there are always spots available. I really can't say enough great things about Detroit History Tours!!

Our tour was FANTASTIC! Bailey was our tour guide for our tour of Detroit's "Wild Women." We learned so much, and the stories were so fun and interesting. Bailey is a fantastic storyteller, and she kept us engaged the entire tour. We have been recommending Detroit History Tours to all of our friends. I can't wait to try one of the other tours they offer.

We booked Detroit History Tours for a pre-conference tour for the 2023 Impact100 Global conference in Detroit. It was THE best way to kick off our conference. Each person on the tour raved about the quality of the content, how our tour guide, Bailey, connected events throughout history, and the enthusiasm she shared with the group. It was the BEST, most informative, fun, and well run tour. Thank you Bailey, and the Detroit History Tour team! We would highly recommend you.
