Classic and classy 1930 Model A Phaeton ride through Detroit to Belle Isle. We donned our caps and let Lisa take us on an open air tour through several historic areas, with Belle Isle as a capstone. Very fun, very knowledgeable guide, and perhaps the best afternoon of the summer. A great way to see and be seen!

We had an absolute blast with Lisa on the Belle Isle tour. She is very knowledgeable and provides a great tour of Bell Isle. Riding in the Ford Model A is a unique experience and puts a smile on everyone's face when you drive by. A must-do if you're in Detroit.

Wonderful experience!! A very cool way to take a lesiurly ride around the island, all the while learning the history of the island. Our driver, Lisa, was SO knowledgeable about the history of the island, & although I've been going to Belle Isle my whole life, learned a few facts I never knew. An EXCELLENT experience & one I highly recommend!!
