About the Tour
I’m Kristin a Detroit local and I’ll be navigating you to Detroit’s hidden gems, artistic Alleys, funky food spots, golden era buildings and sharing their stories.
Detroit is a city on the rise. When I was a kid, downtown was a no-go zone. Today it’s thriving and the people of Detroit are carving out a culture that is authentically D Town. Let me show you how Detroit is changing. And let you know about its world changing history along the way.
The tour starts at Buddy’s on Broadway, the shop that invented Detroit Style Pizza. So, grab a slice and let’s get this party started.
