Hello, I’m sorry if this sort of thing has been asked a million times before, but I did search! I’m hoping some people here can help with some queries I have about Detroit, it’s a city I have always wanted to visit.
My girlfriend and myself are visiting Detroit next month for a few days [[we are both from Northern Ireland) and we’re both very excited about it. We are arriving via train from Chicago and staying in Greektown.
So I have a few questions that I hope you can help the first time visitor out with.
1) How easy it is to get a taxi from The Amtrak station on Baltimore Avenue? Do taxis line up outside or would I need to book one in advance? If I do need to book one in advance any recommendations on which company I should use?
2) We plan on seeing the sights downtown, GM centre, people mover, river front, a group tour and some museums [[science centre, historical museum). I guess these areas would be safe enough for out of towners to walk around? Should we avoid any of these areas?
3) After Detroit we’re heading to Windsor, Canada, what do people think of the Tunnel bus? Is it a good service?
We’re trying to avoid hiring a car because the next stage of our trip takes us into Canada and hire firms don’t seem to like us hiring in the US and returning the car in Canada.
If anybody has any recommendations or hints then please let me know.
Thanks for helping!
