I now have a job giving tours of Belle Isle! [View all]

I just started doing the tours a couple months ago. We do the tours in old Model A Fords and operate out of the Piquette Plant. If you're interested, check out the website: antiquetouring.com

Our company also does an Automotive history tour and a Corktown tour.
