Great experience. Actually doing it Again today July 22 2026. There is a lot of walking so be prepared
Thank you for being with us! Your review reflects the kind of connection we hope every guest leaves with, and we're grateful you shared it. We'd be delighted to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.
Carolyn was a great guide - lots of good historical information, helpful info for visiting other attractions in the city, and good stories about the places we visited. We really enjoyed all the food, too. Good choice of places with good pizza, coney dogs, baklava, and a Boston cooler float. The popcorn shop was a bit odd, but the popcorn was good (one bag for two people). And even though we had to reschedule with late notice, Viator and the tour provider worked with us to find an alternate date (die to weather and medical issues).
It was wonderful to have you with us! We're glad you took the time to share your experience, and we'd love to see you again with Secret Food Tours.

It focuses mostly on the history and architecture of Detroit's downtown. It's very interesting and well done but may catch some off guard, being a food tour.

One of the best food tours we have done. Learned all about the history and architecture of the city from Jim. A Detroit native, he is perfect for this tour. In addition, the food portion of the tour did not disappoint. Portions were very generous, and the food was delicious. If you have an opportunity to take this tour, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed discovering the city's food scene and the stories that came with it. Thank you again for choosing Secret Food Tours.
