    Review summary

    Excellent
    269 reviews•Google Maps

    Detroit locals and visitors consistently rave about these tours, particularly the Guardian Building experience. The guides steal the show here: Lorrie, Melissa, Phil, and Davy all get enthusiastic shoutouts for being knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely excellent at their craft. People love the access you get beyond the stunning lobby—the basement vault and 32nd floor panoramic views are frequent highlights. The walking tours also impress, with guides who bring real energy and insider perspective to the city's architecture and history. One reviewer who's done tours worldwide ranked their guide among the very best. Group size can occasionally be an issue. A couple reviewers noted that large groups made it challenging to hear everything or keep pace, with some wishing for headphones to catch all the commentary. There was one unfortunate incident involving a sick guide that the company reportedly didn't handle well, though this seems to be an isolated event among otherwise glowing feedback. The tours work well for families and different age groups, and the team can customize private experiences if you reach out. Most people leave wanting to book another tour, which speaks volumes.

    I recently took a tour of the Guardian Building for a class. The tour was fantastic and so fun. Our tour guide was so funny and so knowledgeable. He made the tour even better, he made jokes while keeping a professional manor. The tour was definitely a great experience and one I wouldn’t even mind doing again because of the tour guide.
