Food:
Worried your group will get hungry? We are happy to included meal stops on private tours for an additional per guest fee. We have chefs, owners, mangers, and restaurant friends all over the city we adore working with.
We've done an unbelievably delicious Polish-Indian fusion dinner at a bar, during a tour ...Trust us when we say we can do anything!
Can kids come on private tours?
Got kids, little ones, or tiny humans? We'd love to host a private tour with them included.
Please make sure to tell us they'll be coming at your time of booking, so we can arrange for stops that will welcome them, send our kid friendly guides, and make sure to bring them special Detroit treats.
Remember we are not baby sitters. We are happy to entertain them, pump them full of sugar, and give them a whole lot of fun history. But, we can not be responsible for them. All children included tours must have one adult to every 10 children under age 13.
Tipping:
It’s never expected but always appreciated. 100% of tips stay directly with your guides. All drivers tips are included in the cost of a tour.
Thank you for considering us for your party, work outing, or cult meeting. We love exposing everyone to the history of Detroit and you make it possible!
it’s estimated that more than 75% of illegal liquor supplied to the U.S. during prohibition entered the United States of America by way of the Detroit River.
