Post-Super Bowl excitement leads to more city tours

The Tourism and Economic Development Council will offer tours each
Saturday, May through September, due to heightened interest generated
by the Super Bowl. Designed to augment Preservation Wayne’s tour schedule,
the tours will begin at Campus Martius at 10:00 a.m. and will include
several distinct options ranging from walking to bus to People Mover
tours.

The new types of tours will be:

• People Mover Tours, which will take participants around the People
Mover as well as into new loft developments and the Renaissance Center.

• City Living Tours are each a unique bus tour that will focus on
living options in different areas of Detroit including the Riverfront,
Lafayette Park, Downtown, University Commons-Palmer Park, Rosedale
Park, North and South Midtown, the eastside, and New Center.

• “What’s New in the D” Tours will provide an insider’s view of recent
developments downtown—including shopping, restaurants and bars, living
options, and parks.

Tours range in price from free to $10. A complete schedule is available at http://www.theworldiscoming.com/tours.html.
