This was an awesome tour. We started in Detroit, riding in a Ford model A through some streets in Detroit to get to the bridge to Belle Isle. Our tour started before we even got in the car. Our tour was given by Brian. He was awesome. He knew so much history about Detroit as well as Belle Isle. Fascinating. I would do this again. It was a beautiful day, we rode with the top down and waved at everyone along the street. I always see people go by on tours like this and wish I was them. This time I was them.
