Huntington Place

our tour begins at Huntington Place, located at 1 Washington Blvd, Detroit. You will meet your guide at the Statue of Joe Louis.

Huntington Place is one of Detroit’s main convention centers and a key part of the city’s modern development. It hosts major events, exhibitions, and conferences throughout the year. This stop also features the iconic Joe Louis Statue, honouring the legendary boxer and symbolising strength, pride, and resilience in Detroit’s history.

Detroit Downtown

Explore City centre Detroit, the vibrant core of the city where historic architecture meets modern development. Guests will walk through active streets filled with offices, restaurants, and cultural spaces. This area reflects Detroit’s transformation from an industrial powerhouse to a revitalised urban centre with growing tourism and business activity.

Hart Plaza

Hart Plaza is a large public gathering space located along the Detroit River. It is well known for hosting festivals, concerts, and cultural events throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy scenic waterfront views and see Windsor, Canada across the river. This location highlights Detroit’s connection to trade, transport, and community life.

The Spirit of Detroit

The Spirit of Detroit is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. This large bronze statue represents unity, hope, and the human spirit. It is a popular photo stop and a powerful symbol of Detroit’s identity. The monument is often decorated during major sports victories and city celebrations.
