For your children age 6 and over, they can join you at the same price as adults.
DO YOU NEED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION FOR THESE WALKING TOURS?
You need to be able to stand for most of the time, and walk at a leisurely pace. We cover about 1.5 miles over 2 hours, never more than a couple of blocks at once, and there are plenty of stops along the way.

Other than comfortable walking shoes, and appropriate clothing for the weather, you might want to bring a bottle of water and a small snack.

No. The advertised price or agreed upon price for a tour is the exact amount you will pay.
WHAT ARE YOUR CANCELLATION OR RESCHEDULING POLICIES FOR BAD WEATHER?
We generally continue tours for moderately bad weather, and only cancel for severe weather.
DO YOU OFFER ANY OTHER TOURS BESIDES YOUR DAILY WALKING TOUR?
Yes. We can do private walking tours for groups of 4 or more, and those tours can be scheduled most mornings or afternoons with advance booking. We also offer step-on guides for bus or van tours of the downtown area, or other parts of the Detroit Metro Area.
DO YOU OFFER TOURS OF OTHER PARTS OF DOWNTOWN BESIDES YOUR REGULAR ROUTE?
Yes. We have done tours of the Corktown area, The Eastern Market, The Detroit Riverfront, and other parts of Detroit, and continue to offer those options for our private walking tours.
