Detroit Tour information

[miketoronto1]

Hey everyone,
I am going to be in Detroit on this weekend for a family event, including Thursday and Friday Aug 18-19. Anyway my sister who has never been wants me to take her around Detroit on the Friday, as she wants to experience the city I always rave about

We are hoping to borrow our family car while we are there, so I can give her a good classic tour of the city. However there may be a chance we can't get the car, and so will have to bus it downtown and then be on our own.

Do you guys know of any tours that go out on Fridays that hit interesting parts of the city, etc? Any info would be great.
