    Guide had VERY strong...

    Andrew_W, Sep 2026
    Guide had VERY strong accent and was VERY hard to understand. We should receive a refund or credit, otherwise can’t use VIATOUR tours again.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry that you found my accent difficult to understand. I understand that everyone hears and understands different accents differently. I always do my best to speak clearly, explain the history thoroughly, and make the tour enjoyable for everyone. In fact, other guests on the same tour have shared that they found the tour very informative and that they learned something new at every stop, even after living near Detroit for many years. I appreciate your feedback and will continue working on speaking as clearly as possible so that every guest can comfortably follow and enjoy the tour.

    The tour takes you...

    Michelle_S, Jun 2026
    The tour takes you through some of Detroit’s hidden (and not so hidden) gems and provides interesting context for what you are seeing. Our guide, Kashem was very attentive and was able to give us the histories behind some of Detroit’s most iconic landmarks. It is such a beautiful city, with such a rich history and this tour provides a deeper appreciation for both.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026
