Whether exploring downtown or uncovering hidden corners jammed with history, Tours Around Michigan helps experience Grand Rapids in a whole new way. With guided tours led by passionate local experts — including a founder whose West Michigan family arrived in the 1840s — this locally-owned company is all about connection, discovery, and inclusive experiences while sharing fascinating, engaging stories.
Spine-Tingling Stories on Ghost Tour Grand Rapids
One of the most unique tours? Ghost Tour Grand Rapids, the only locally owned year-round ghost tour. Guests follow eerie trails through the past of haunted hotels, unsolved crimes, and resident spirits like #AmosTheGhost — a friendly 1830s settler who specifically enjoys Tours Around Michigan storytelling as much as guests.
“I’ve taken ghost tours in cities across the U.S., and this one was by far the most fascinating,” wrote Sarah L. from Chicago, in a 5-star review. “It was spooky, but also respectful and educational. A perfect activity for families or date night!”
Unlike other ghost tours, this experience favors authentic local lore over gimmicks, all while ensuring accessibility, including wheelchairs.
Tours That Welcome Everyone
Inclusivity is central to every experience. Tours Around Michigan proudly welcomes guests of all beliefs, cultures, and the LGBTQ community. As Marcus T. from Detroit shared, “Everyone is made to feel seen and heard. It’s clear the guides are intentional about inclusion.”
