04 / Before you go

Four things worth knowing about a Detroit tour

  1. Book ahead

    Many tours run small groups, and weekend slots can fill up fast. You’ll find the booking button on every page.

  2. Check where it starts

    Every tour meets somewhere different: a lobby, a dock or a coffee shop. The QLINE and the People Mover often get you close.

  3. Mind the season

    Some boat, kayak and bike tours only run in the warmer months. Each page tells you when something is seasonal.

  4. Tips and languages

    In the U.S., tipping your guide is customary. Tours run in English, a few in other languages too; check the language line on each page.
