You’ll hear the story of La Mano Nera—or Black Hand extortionists—in Detroit at the turn of the century. We’ll explore the illegal liquor wars of the 1910s. We’ll visit an iconic bar where we’ll learn about the police chief who resigned his appointment as a judge to bring “civility back to the police.” As we traverse the city, we’ll uncover the history of mobster-owned speakeasies and some of their most memorable raids.
From riots to rolling men into the river, from African American gambling rackets to Italian mobsters fixing professional football games, from hookers, madams, and street corner pimps to cops, mounted police, and mayors of all types—welcome to the criminal side of Detroit.
Because drinking and swearing are part of this history, all public bus tours are strictly for guests 21 years of age and older.
Tickets are $51.00 per guest
