Make time for these
The Detroit team of the worldwide Urban Adventures network runs three recurring walks: "The D You Must See" covers downtown's essentials, "Corktown is Popping!" loops through Corktown, and "Detroit's Rise, Fall & Renewal" tells the city's whole arc in two hours. Every tour ends with a stop at a local restaurant or bar, so you're not just looking at Detroit, you're tasting it too. Local guides lead the walks from March through November, Tuesday through Sunday.
