Explore Detroit
Detroit is a comeback city of grand architecture, Motown soul and a serious food revival along Woodward Avenue. Chauffyr links a museum morning, an Eastern Market lunch and a riverfront dinner in a fixed-price black car — the easy way to move across the Motor City.
The birthplace of Motown and the auto industry, world-class museums, Detroit-style pizza and coney dogs, and a remarkable downtown revival.
