We enjoyed the walk and learn more about Detroit. Stopping app and starting later was a bit cumbersome. Otherwise it was fine.

I got to see things I would not have discovered on my own. Too bad it wasn't longer! Very easy to follow at my own pace. Price was reasonable, too

I thought it was a good tour..I wish they would have walked us full circle in summer way. We were a little lost having to walk back to our starting point without guidance.

Took a small group of high school seniors with me. They had a great time, the directions were super easy to follow (even for people like me who are navigationally challenged!) and the history notes added a lot. Highly recommend this if you want to see some of the main sights of the Motor City.

Thanks for the feedback. In the app there is an arrow that points you to the next location, simply follow the arrow, and the voice of your guide and you'll find the spot. Which street did you have difficulty finding? was it the Belt, an alley that is now transformed a work of art. You can spot it with the mural inside and the grand entrance. Or was it Parker Alley, you can spot that next to the soup/ice-cream shop and the artwork murals along the walls. All the other streets are pretty major roads, easy to find :). Buddy's pizza is right at the beginning, I hope you tried Detroit Style Pizza, it's awesome!
It sounds like overall you enjoyed the history of Detroit. This is a great way to explore downtown Detroit at your own pace. Thanks!
