Detroit’s “Big 3” Architecture TourA Bus Tour of Michigan Central Station, the Fisher Building, and the Guardian Building
Duration: 3.5 Hours | Includes Interior Access to All Three Buildings
Discover the crown jewels of Detroit architecture on this unforgettable journey through three of the city's most iconic and awe-inspiring landmarks. Detroit’s Big 3 Architecture Tour offers a rare opportunity to explore Michigan Central Station, the Fisher Building, and the Guardian Building—each a masterpiece of design, innovation, and historical significance.
The tour begins with a ground-floor interior tour of Michigan Central Station, once the tallest rail station in the world and long a symbol of both Detroit’s industrial might and its spirit of restoration. Powered by Detroit History Tours, this segment offers an insider’s view of the station’s transformation from abandoned relic to world-class hub of mobility and design.
From there, enjoy a fresh treat as you travel in comfort to the Fisher Building, often called “Detroit’s largest art object.” Designed by Albert Kahn and completed in 1928, this Art Deco masterpiece features hand-painted ceilings, brass details, and glittering marble that give it a timeless elegance. Our expert guides will lead you through the building’s storied past and architectural wonders.
The final stop is the Guardian Building, a National Historic Landmark and perhaps the finest example of Art Deco design in the world. Its soaring lobby bursts with color, tile, and Aztec-inspired geometric forms, earning it the nickname “The Cathedral of Finance.” Step inside and prepare to be amazed.
Tickets are $79.95 per guest.
