About this tour
See Detroit from a fresh angle on a helicopter ride above the Motor City’s skyline, stadiums, and riverfront. From 500 to 1,000 feet, the city’s familiar landmarks unfold into a striking aerial panorama.
Choose from four routes to match your plans. The Detroit Quick Hop traces a 10-mile loop past sights including Ford Field, the GM Renaissance Center, and the Detroit River. The 20-mile Downtown Detroit Tour adds views of the major sports stadiums, the Ambassador Bridge, and the Windsor skyline. The Detroit Bridge Tour focuses on the city’s bridges and riverfront, while the Detroit Skyline Ride circles the stadiums and Renaissance Center with views of Belle Isle and Campus Martius. You may also spot Corktown, Midtown, Eastern Market, Comerica Park, and Ford Field, depending on your route.
A professional pilot flies each trip. Routes can change because of weather, FAA regulations, or other necessary reasons, and game-day routes apply during Tigers and Lions home games. Take a Detroit helicopter tour for a memorable look at the city from above, whether you’re celebrating or simply ready for a new perspective.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.58 from 18 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 6.8.
