About this Experience

What you'll do:

Lions, tigers, and donuts, oh my! This sweet walking tour begins at Trappers Alley, a historic gem in the heart of Greektown that takes its name from its fur trading days. Next, stop at Astoria Bakery, a family-owned Greektown staple that has delighted visitors for decades with old-world baked goods.

Head to the revitalized area near the Shinola Hotel for expertly crafted coffee and creative desserts, then discover an artisanal chocolate shop tucked into cobblestoned Parker's Alley. Continue to Cannelle, a beloved patisserie inspired by French baking traditions, before finishing at Campus Martius, the vibrant heart of downtown surrounded by iconic skyscrapers. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Detroit's rich history, dynamic neighborhoods, and remarkable comeback.
