My wife and I and our two adult children took this tour which consisted of a driving tour from the museum where the tour company is housed through Detroit on to Belle Isle and around Belle isle. We rode in a Ford Model A convertible which is what is called a Touring model. Our tour guide used a wireless microphone, which transmitted to receivers and earbuds that we all wore. We could hear him great throughout the entire tour. He was very knowledgeable adding information and anecdotes about different locations along the way. He shared things with us that he couldn't verify were true but were stories or legends, but they were entertaining with it all, whether they were true or not. We got to see all the major sites at Belle isle. We got out and walked around at a few. He was very considerate for our questions and was a very good tour guide. I highly recommend this unique experience. Not too many people can say they've driven around Detroit in a Model A or that they toured Belle Isle in a Model A!. Definitely don't miss this!

Absolutely fantastic tour!! Not only do you get to ride in a spectacular car, but you get to sightsee with a fun, knowledgeable guide. We would have never known what we were looking at nor the story behind it if we had driven Belle Island on our own. HIGHLY recommend this tour whether you live here or if you are visiting. Water was provided as well as restroom stops if needed... was location to find (GPS takes you right there).
