About this tour
See Detroit from a fresh perspective on a private helicopter flight departing from Grosse Ile. This approximately 30-minute Detroit helicopter tour sweeps toward downtown, where the city’s skyline and landmarks unfold from above.
Look for the Renaissance Center, Ford Field, Comerica Park, Motor City Casino, and Grand Central Station, along with views of Belle Isle and the Ambassador Bridge. The route also takes in the Detroit River and Grosse Ile before returning to the airport. Bring a camera with a strap to capture the scenery, and dress for the outdoor weather. A live English-speaking guide accompanies the flight, and the private setting makes it a memorable way to mark a birthday or share the city with your group.
The tour departs from 9161 Groh Rd in Grosse Ile Township, where parking is available outside the large white airport building. A 48-hour reservation is recommended. Book your Detroit helicopter tour for an aerial look at the city’s landmarks and riverfront.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 432 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Detroit
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.7. Top 2% in Detroit means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in Detroit by this score.
