Amazing Tour with a Fantastic Guide Kashem
We had such a great time on this tour! Kashem made everything come alive with his storytelling and deep knowledge of Detroit’s past. The Art Deco architecture is stunning, and I appreciated how he pointed out details I would have completely missed on my own. The tour was well organized, informative, and fun from start to finish. Definitely a 5-star experience!
