Detroit architecture: from initial build; through city bankruptcy; to astounding, inspiring rebirth and restoration! - Super-informative walking tour that covered not only architecture but also underlying social and economic history.

Detroit Architecture at Its' Best - Dildora was the our guide on this tour. Her extensive knowledge and love of Detroit and its' historic, beautiful architecture were obvious. It's a fun, fast paced tour with plenty of rest spots. I never knew Detroit had so much to offer visitors until I took this tour. She also gave us useful tips on other historic sites and restaurants. I highly recommend this well priced tour for fans of architecture and history.

Exceptional guide and tour! - Seeing several of Detroit's art deco masterpiece buildings was a treat - certainly. But the real value of this extraordinary tour was the guide's masterful explanation of Detroit's history - especially its impressive renaissance in recent decades. Highly recommended!

Interesting history of Detroit. - The tour with Dildoro was terrific, but I was charged $140 and the advertised rate is $115. I do not understand why this discrepancy.

Fantastic Detroit walking tour! - As a new resident to Michigan, I can tell you I now know more about the architectural history and city facts than native Michiganders after this tour! I took a friend who was visiting, but this tour will be a gift to my MI friends and family. It's a Detroit I don't think they know yet--and what a story it is to hear. It is a story of hope, loss and then revival. Let's keep the revival part going.
