Explore West Michigan From the Comfort of Your Home
Get to know Grand Rapids and all it has to offer from your home! Our Virtual Tours consist of a live presentation from an entertaining and passionate tour guide on a topic of your choice. Simply tell us what interests you, mix and match topics from our public tour itineraries, or request a recommendation. The tour usually lasts between 1-1.5 hours, including a question-and-answer session.
This is a great way to mix with colleagues working from home, to inspire your kids who are fed up with schoolwork, or simply a great activity for learning more about Grand Rapids and its rich history. This is also a great way to learn more before planning your next trip here.
Examples of Previous Virtual Tour Topics
- Grand Rapids Churches: History, architecture and the immigrants who built them.
- History of Michigan Serial Killers from 1800s to today. There are way more than you think.
- Grand Rapids tours in art, architecture, historic homes, furniture city, and urban renewal
- My sister and two close friends were able to do a tour of Grand Rapids on Saturday morning and it was lovely. I lived in the area for about a year for college and didn't know much about the city's history until Candice took us around. She was very easy to talk to and gave us a ton of great information about the founders of the city, how important it was for furniture makers and buyers, and how the rapids made the area a great trading location. My favorite part was going through the Pantlind Hotel. I hope to go back for a ghost tour in the future.
