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.

- Our Grand rapids river walk tour with Candace was phenomenal. She was very personable, engaging and informative. Candice shared really interesting history and insightful anecdotes about the city and the river. I have mobility issues and and what they call a gentle (slow and cautious) walker, and she was very gracious and willing to provide accommodations for my needs. I highly recommend the Grand rapids river walk tour. It was the perfect start to our visit in this beautiful area. The company also offers other types of tours like ghost tours and scavenger hunts ,which sound like a lot of fun. Will check them out next time we're in town
(opens in a new tab) Patti Phillips6/25/2026 - My daughter and I recently took the Grand Rapids Ghost Tour with Bill as our guide, and it was a fascinating experience. Bill brought the history of downtown Grand Rapids to life with captivating stories about the area's most famous hauntings and the people behind them. Learning the legends and local history was incredibly interesting, but the highlight for us was hearing about the sightings of one of the tour's most well-known ghosts who is actually my own great-grandfather! We didn't let on about this until Bill had finished the ghost story, which made it more fun to see his reaction. That personal connection made the experience even more memorable. If you're interested in local history, ghost stories, or a unique way to explore Grand Rapids, I highly recommend this tour.(opens in a new tab) Tracy Toschi6/09/2026
- 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.(opens in a new tab) Karla Giminez5/15/2026

- 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.
