Bike rentals are nearby, and the Port of Detroit, complete with replica paddle wheel vessel for river tours

Beer Tastings & Tours in Detroit
"I decided to use Handlebar for a surprise birthday party for my husband. This company was absolutely amazing to work with! I always received replies to e-mails and text messages within 20min. Everyone was incredibly pleasant, helpful, and fun to work with! Every single person that attended had a blast, and all commented on how great the company was. Our drivers Zach, Jeff, and Elizabeth were a dream! We had a very large group of people, and they made sure everything ran without a glitch. Handlebar planned everything out for us and made everything incredibly easy and stress free. I would highly recommend them for any event you may be planning.
