The only two requests was for the place we were going to stay be relatively close to Ninja Citi and Scene 75, and if possible to have a pool. Sheri did not disappointed!! Not only were we within 10 minutes of both activities, but everything we needed was within 15 minutes! Instead of a basic hotel room we have a 1 bedroom suite with a kitchen and an amazing shower. The breakfast was the best that our family has ever had provided by a hotel. The pool was perfect and they had real towels to dry instead of the small pool towels you normally find. And the price. Let me tell you... it was cheaper for the stay thru Sheri than we could have found on our own! I will absolutely be asking Sheri to assist my family and I in the future with our vacations! Thank you so much Sheri!

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!

Meadow Brook Hall was the last house I toured with my parents over our long weekend in Detroit…read more It's a Tudor Revival house built for the heiress to the Dodge fortune (Matilda Dodge Wilson), her second husband, and their children. Covering 88,000 square feet and with 110 rooms, the house is worth a tour. The architecture and design looks old English Tudor but almost all of the work was done by American craftsman (a different take than some other homes in the area which incorporated pieces of English manors that date back to those period and which the families needed to sell in the 20th century). We took a guided tour of the house on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't crowded (only a few other people on our tour). I think the home may be more popular as the wedding venue than a historic house to tour (perhaps because - in Rochester Hills - it's a bit of a hike from Detroit). Our tour guide was wonderful, informative and friendly. She wanted us to learn as much as we could and tried to get through as much of the story and the house as possible in the time allotted for our tour. Homes this size often have grounds that require as long to tour as the home itself. Unless we missed something, Meadow Brook Hall doesn't have that. We toured the house, walked over to a few exterior buildings (children's playhouses), and visited the gift shop. In that way, it isn't quite as an exciting home to tour as some others I've been to. But I really loved learning about the house, the Dodge family, and Matilda Dodge Wilson. If you have enough time to venture this far from Detroit, it's worth a visit, but I don't think it's as much of a must visit as some other historic properties in or closer to Detroit.

We parked at the Port Authority garage, which is the best option but is pricey. You board, and are directed to a deck and table number, they have three decks that can serve food and they use them as needed for the tickets sold for that cruise. You then are free to go to the buffet tables and get food as you wish. Even taking into account the cruising and show offered, the food was only okay. The mushrooms were margional, and the rare beef was only okay (oddly, the medium beef was more tasty). Drink must be paid for with a card, even soda pop, and are pricey. Staff was nice. The show was okay, it made me think of a temu Four Pops. They were trying, and decent. I ended up going on deck to watch the river go by, and going down past Belle Isle and downtown and down almost to the new bridge was the best part.
