Great tour guide!
We walked to 4 different bars, also stopped for ice cream. Jeff Fritz made the experience enjoyable, as a former Second City cast member, he was very engaging and funny. Loved the time we spent with him!

Response from ViatorNovember 03, 2025
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts! This tour was actually one of our first larger groups, so we really appreciate your patience as we work on finding the right balance between the social side and all the great Detroit history we love sharing. Your feedback about the route and storytelling is super helpful — we’re already making a few tweaks. I’m glad to hear you had a great group and a friendly guide, and I’d love to have you back for a future tour once we’ve made those updates. Thanks again for joining us and helping us grow! — James
