February is Black History Month, and at Detroit Food & City Tours, we are proud to highlight one of Detroit’s most significant cultural institutions—the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History!

"Est. in 1965, inspires greater understanding, acceptance, & unity through the triumphs and tragedies of the African American experience."

Many of our private group tour itineraries include this location and provide an opportunity to explore the museum’s powerful exhibits, showcasing the resilience, achievements, and impact of African Americans throughout history. From thought-provoking galleries to immersive storytelling, a visit to the Wright Museum is an unforgettable experience that deepens our understanding of Black history and its influence on Detroit and beyond.

Join us this month (and all year long!) as we continue to celebrate and educate through meaningful experiences. If you’re looking to plan a group trip, let us take you on a journey of history, culture, and great food along the way!

The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History connects visitors of all backgrounds with true stories of resilience, innovation, and personal courage. Plan your visit today.

✨ A Special Private Tour with Philippe Bourget ✨

This morning, Davy had the pleasure of giving Philippe Bourget a private tour! Philippe was an absolute delight—he truly enjoyed the experience and had wonderful things to say about Davy's expertise. 🌍🚶‍♂️

Exciting news! Philippe’s article will be published in "Le Telegraph" and "Lausanne Cities" (Switzerland) around March or April. He wasn’t sure if it would be available online, but we’ll keep an eye out! 👀📰

Here are a couple of photos from the day! 📸

Tea time, anyone? We decided to take our team to Atlanta GA for a team retreat to refresh us and remind us of the guest perspective of being excited for a new experience. Day 3 is our sweet conclusion of our team trip with a ride on the Tea Around Town bus in downtown Atlanta!

We find the delicious in everything we do, so when we decided to take our team to Atlanta GA for a team retreat, we of course sought out a food tour to be a part of our itinerary. Thank you to Food Tours Atlanta for showing us a delicious time on a private food tour! (And yes... we managed to meet an urban cowboy mid-tour that rode his horse downtown to get lunch!)

We decided to take our team to Atlanta GA for a team retreat and if that means we'll be forced to eat our faces off, enjoy cool tours and hang with amazing industry colleagues, then so be it! Day 2 of our Team Retreat and we took a Biscuit Making Class and tour of the Municipal Market with our friends at Unexpected Atlanta Tours & Gifts!
