    Me on the boat

    Such a lovely and fun experience!!! There were 6 of us on our tiki boat and Captain Anne was fabulous! She showed us fun sites all along the Detroit River. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon with friends! We brought food and drinks and there was a cooler on board where we could store things. Seats and cup holders around the boat. Fun decor. $15 to park your car there.

    We did a quick two hour tour hosted by Captain K and Natasha. Everything ran smoothly. It was easy to get there and also fine. They were very good with entertaining and letting people play their music. Good with providing rules and what needs to be done. Very clean very hospitable. Just know that there is a parking fee at the lot in front of this location for the cost of $15 for two hours.

    Fun experience on the Detroit River with Aloha Tiki Tours! I was with a group of coworkers on my visit with this cool local excursion company. The tiki boats were safe, and each seated about 20 of us comfortably. Each of our captains was cordial and engaging. The tiki I was on had both center bar seating and seating around the outer deck of the boat. Our boat was cycling-free, but other boats offered it. We cruised around the river on an overcast afternoon. It was a bit windy and cool at times, but still comfortable. We each talked about returning when the weather was a little fairer. We were allowed to bring our own snacks and libations. Our appointed group dj played music on her phone via the boat's Bluetooth speakers. We cruised for 2 1/2 hours, with a rest stop at a marine gas station/convenience store that offered restrooms. This excursion would be fun for any group of friends. I wouldn't advise it for mobility challenged people or toddlers and babies.

    Great afternoon with Captain Mark. He was fun, clear with the tour and safety. Everything ran smooth on a windy afternoon. Explained the sites along the Detroit River. We will request him next next year.

    We just spent a fantastic couple of hours with Joe, who is funny, smart, insightful, wry and…read morepassionate about the city where he'd lived in and around his entire life. Our two hour tour went by too quickly and we wished we'd taken the four hour option instead! Joe was not only a terrific tour guide, he worked with with our schedules. We really appreciated getting a real insider's glimpse of a fascinating, complicated city. Cannot recommend Joe and Backseat Detroit tours more highly!

    My husband, sister-in-law, niece, and I (age range 7-31) took a tour with Joe of Backseat Detroit…read morein January of 2014 and the experience was unforgettable for all of us! Joe served as a treasure trove of knowledge regarding the city as he provided interesting facts, historical data (and even hilarious jokes) while we traversed neighborhoods such as the affluent Boston Edison District, historic Corktown, the colorful Heidelberg Project, and many, many more. The best part was that though Joe had a planned route, he offered to customize our tour on the spot to meet our varied personal interests--a service that Joe said he provides to all his guests. For instance, Joe said that if we were interested in a particular theme, such as the Motor City's vibrant music history, he would include Hitsville USA and other prominent music sights within the city. My seven-year-old niece said she was interested in toys, which made us laugh due to its randomness, but alas, Joe guided us through the aforementioned Heidelberg Project (a neighborhood in which the houses are adorned with colorful polka dots and teddy bears) and even led us into the Fisher where we gazed upon a stunning detailed Lego replica of the skyscraper in which we were standing (see pics). Whatever your specific interests are, Joe will ensure that you leave satisfied! We also appreciated that Joe provided a well-rounded and as-unbiased-as-possible perspective of the long-troubled, yet vibrant city. For instance, when we asked Joe a specific question regarding the politically-polarizing Detroit mogul Matty Maroun, he was sure to note when his facts ventured into opinion territory. This perspective proved invaluable to the sights as well: Most visitors will have heard of and/or seen photos of Detroit's tremendous blight, but Joe also showed us breathtaking extant structures from Detroit's grandiose past and he was sure to also point out new developments in the city; we visited the decrepit remains of Michigan Central Station, but Joe also took us into the spectacular Guardian Building (Wait until Joe tells you the story about the building's roof--you'll be astonished), and Joe even showed us the wonderful new Beethoven Cafe on Third Avenue where we purchased delicious coffee and pastries. Of course, any smartphone could provide both navigation and a web browser set to Wikipedia that could guide visitors on a tour of Detroit, right? WRONG! For starters, Joe is a long-time resident of Detroit, so he provided a unique and authentic perspective of life in the city. Moreover, Joe maintains an active role in Detroit city politics and stays current on city planning; therefore, Joe provided us with fascinating information regarding the city's past, present and future that we likely could not have obtained through the internet. And if you require further proof that Joe's tour provided invaluable information, consider this: out of our group of four, all of us were born and raised in the Metro-Detroit-area and all four of us have lived in the city at one point in our lives; yet Joe still showed us new sights and provided us with a wealth of new knowledge regarding our former home. Book a tour with Backseat Detroit. You will not be disappointed!
