June Tour Update
Our tour season is not underway, and our public tour calendar is complete! That means we have tours every single weekend up through the end of October.
Our public tours cap at six or 10 riders — depending on the route and/or guide preference — so you are always getting a very personal experience. It also means that the tours often do sell out. Both tours the weekend of June 4 are sold out, but we still have openings on the 11th (Southwest Detroit) and 12th (Urban Agriculture).
We are offering an Eastern Market tour bi-weekly every other Tuesday and Riverwalk/Dequindre Cut every second Thursday. These tours are both small in size, mostly off-road, less expensive, and shorter than other tours. Great for families and beginning riders!
As Detroit changes, we take our job as storytellers and interpreters very seriously. Our guides do lots of research, keep up on the news, and do our best to be aware of multiple sides of any story. Some of our tours are completely brand-new in content this year (Public Art, Underground Railroad, Southwest Detroit) and all others have adapted their narratives as reality changes (Auto Heritage, Urban Agriculture).
A couple of recent tour reviews:
Having an architect run the architecture tour was a fantastic bonus! We knew the tour would be educational and interesting, but Chris's knowledge and enthusiasm for both Detroit and its architecture made for a POSITIVE/FUN experience in the 'D'! Highly recommend Wheelhouse Detroit tours and bike rental. We're spreading the word in Adrian.
We had a great time on the Underground Railroad tour! I thought I knew a lot about it, but Reggie gave us a lot of information that I never knew. Kelli was our “sweeper” and did a great job keeping us all safe! The pace was perfect! We will be doing all the tours they have to offer. Can’t wait!
Tour descriptions and reservations are HERE and a Google calendar of all of ‘em are HERE. We are also happy to set up a private tour for your group; more info HERE. We hope to explore Detroit with you this season!
