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
- When my muralist friend came for a visit, I knew we should check out the Art/Mural Tour of GR. What a gift we have to be surrounded by art throughout our city! Candice is the perfect guide to showcase these treasures and educate us as to the history behind them. Highly recommend this tour and I have no doubt that each tour Candice offers would be of the same high caliber.

- We had the pleasure of joining Candice at Tours around Michigan, focusing on the Grand Rapids area and its local lore. The experience was deeply interactive; we encountered several of the spirits Candice highlighted in her stories, making for a truly memorable outing. Candice is an exceptional host whose depth of knowledge about the region's history is impressive. For anyone seeking a unique and engaging activity, I highly recommend her tours—some experiences simply have to be felt to be believed. If you are sensitive to spirits or curious about them, book a tour! Just keep an open mind and you will have a great time! Pro tip - dress accordingly for the weather.

It was nice having two guides, as Tim gave us a different perspective. We would both recommend this tour especially if you have never been to Grand Rapids before. It gives you a great overview of what you want to see and do.(opens in a new tab) Carol Umsted4/19/2026
- Candice was AMAZING! She was our guide for a wine tour and a ghost tour. The experience was amazing and so much fun. The wine tours were also very accommodating for guests under 21. Would highly recommend any of the tours!!(opens in a new tab) Jessica Hess3/25/2026
