“The tour guides were awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Rieanna was great with keeping up with the tour booking. All the attendees (including myself) aren't from Detroit, so this was an amazing way to get some info on the City.”

“I found DXF online and it was an amazing company to work with! Planned a tour with stops based on our theme of community wellness. Rieanna planned a seamless tour and Davy and Carolyn were excellent guides. The scavenger hunt was great, too. Highly recommend this company for personalized tours of Detroit!
