Valentine’s Day—it can be a great way to celebrate love, adoration, and even friendship.
But sometimes it's over the top. Sometimes it's just too much. Sometimes you just want to say, “Enough already!”

If Cupid’s got you down, or you’ve simply had enough with heart-shaped… well, everything, Detroit History Tours has you covered! On Detroit’s Not All About Love: The Anti-Valentine’s Day Tour, we’ll give you the unvarnished truth behind some of Detroit’s least lovable husbands, worst marriages, and the business end of “love.” We’ll explore Detroit’s premier park for the real story of a tyrannical tycoon, a princess who wasn’t feeling it, and a columnist who wasn’t afraid to tell it like it was—especially in matters of the heart. We’ll uncover the truth behind a so-called “loving reunion,” look at an affair that wasn’t so sweet, and drown our sorrows at one of Detroit’s best watering holes.

Grab a buddy and prepare to break some hearts on this thoroughly unromantic adventure. No matter your relationship status, who you love, or not, all are welcome on a lighthearted sojourn to Detroit’s past!

Because drinking and swearing come with the history, all public bus tours are strictly 21 years old and older. (To date, the oldest person to join one of our tours was 97 years of aged awesomeness. We've also hosted a 21st birthday party—and everyone in between!)

The tour leaves promptly at the ticketed time. Late arrivals can not be accommodated.

This tour departs from and returns to The Detroit History Club, (3103 Commor St., Hamtramck, MI 48212.) Parking is on street. Doors to the club open 30 minutes before ticketed tour start time. Guests are invited to come inside, check into the tour, and relax until the departure time.

Your order confirmation email will serve as your only ticket. Please save your email and be prepared to show it on your phone or printed to board the bus. (We do this to avoid the ticketing fees that come along with ticketing systems. The price of your ticket will remain the same throughout checkout with no added fees for tax.)

If you have a large group consider booking any of our fabulous tours as a private charter. We can arrange to pick your group up from any location, on any day and any time. Check out our Private Tours link for more information.
