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.
