Detroit Downtown Food Tour with 6 Iconic Tastings in Motor City｜United States

On Secret Food Tours: Detroit, you’ll eat your way through the heart of Motor City—Downtown Detroit—where iconic foods meet incredible stories of resilience, culture, and rebirth.

Led by our expert local guides, this tour takes you through Detroit’s historic landmarks, vibrant neighborhoods, and iconic eateries that shaped the city’s culinary identity. From the golden age of the auto industry to today’s dynamic food revival, every bite connects you to the stories of immigrant communities, working-class heroes, and industry titans who made Detroit one of America’s most influential cities.

We’ll begin at the Spirit of Detroit sculpture, before heading to a classic pub for a Detroit original—corned beef egg rolls, a must-try local favorite. Then, it’s time for a taste of Detroit’s legendary Coney Dog, born from the city’s famous “hot dog wars.”

As we stroll through Downtown Detroit, you’ll uncover how the area transformed from its bustling heyday into a modern hub of culture and creativity. Next, cool off with a Boston Cooler - a refreshing float that’s 100% Detroit, despite its name.

No visit is complete without sampling Detroit-style pizza, with its crispy edges and cheesy perfection that strikes the perfect balance between New York and Chicago styles. For dessert, we’ll stop in Greektown to enjoy a flaky, honey-soaked baklava, a sweet tribute to the city’s Greek immigrant roots.

And of course, every Secret Food Tours experience ends with our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day of your tour.

Water is provided at stops, and for those who’d like to enhance the experience, our Upgraded Drinks Package features three hand-selected pairings, including a seasonal cocktail and a local Detroit beer.
