Detroit Bus Co. Tours
Bar Crawls, Architectural Explorations, Discovering Detroit's Neighborhoods & More My, how the time flies. We're actually one year old this month! We launched the company January 2012 and sent out our first bus on May 2012. Since then, we've grown much, hired a handful of incredible people and built up some mind-blowingly cool potential projects for the future. We've also expanded our tours and special events which we'd like to share with you below.

Last Saturdays Bar Crawl: January
Jan. 26th: 8pm-2:30am City Pass: Ten Bucks Ironman Pass: Fifteen Bucks Tickets here The last Saturday of every month, we’ll be running an all-night, all-you-can-ride loop around Downtown, Corktown & Midtown. Grab a few beers and jump on board, we’ll be hitting seven of the city’s best spots (that puts you within walking distance of about four dozen booze joints)

DBC Book Club ft. Belle Isle to 8 Mile: An Insider’s Guide to Detroit
w/ Matthew Lewis, contributing author, Belle Isle to 8 Mile February 10th, 11am & 3pm Tickets here
Belle Isle to 8 Mile: An Insider’s Guide to Detroit documents more than 750 Detroit attractions, sites, institutions, restaurants, bars, and curiosities from the essential to the obscure. Will take you through a whirlwind of some of Detroit’s hidden gems, with contributing author Matthew Lewis your guide. We’re keeping most of the cards close to our chest on the details of the tour, but we can let one big hint creep out:
WE’RE GOING TO THE WEST SIDE! We’ll give you an itinerary once you board the bus. Jump on for an adventure!

Divine Digs: Detroit’s Historical Churches
w/ Kari Smith, Certified Architectural HistorianFebruary 16th, 11am & 3pmTickets here
They were the institutions that Detroit built itself around, hand-built by the city’s founders. And unlike most relics of Detroit’s history, many of them stand around us to this day. We’ll visit several of Detroit’s most architecturally and significant historic churches. From Ste. Anne’s, which was originally built just days after French explorer’s first set foot on land here, to the elegant Fort Street Presbyterian, which was partially modeled after 15th century English Cathedrals. These churches do more than tell the history of Detroit- they represent it.

DBC 2.0 and The Year Of The Bus
2013 will be the year of the regional transit. We're retooling here at the Detroit Bus Company, with new services, ambitious initiatives and a host of new programming. You can catch the full story on where we've been and where we're going here
