Enjoy
the 61st Annual Ford Detroit Fireworks this year with a group motorcoach trip
on June 24 offered by Step On Bus Tours to see the spectacular pyrotechnics display
on the Detroit/Windsor waterfront. The
Fireworks will be viewed from a Canadian certified ferry vessel.
Eight
Reasons to take the bus and boat tour for the Fireworks:
- Leave the driving to us. Yes, there will be crowds. Our bus can
easily manage them safely as well as road, ramp and expressway closures
- Hassle free US and Canadian Custom crossing. Sure, you will have
to disembark the bus and check in with customs – all under a half-an-hour. They
know that we’re coming in advance.
- No searching frustration for a place to park or pay high parking
prices.
- Less walking – only from boat to bus. It’s ideal for people who have mobility issues.
- No need to carry your own chair. The boat has plenty of seats and will be reserved for Step On Bus Tours.
- Great views of the fireworks from the boat. Everyone gets a good
seat instead of elbowing for a place.
- Hors d'oeuvres on the vessel include: include imported and
domestic cheeses, vegetable crudité with dip, trio dip platter, assorted sushi,
mini heirloom tomato tarts, vegetable spring roll, with chili dipping sauce,
vegetable samosas with cucumber raita, mini beef kafta with garlic dipping
sauce, chicken satays with peanut sauce.
- Clean restrooms are always available. There’s no searching, no
line and no charge.
