Discover Windsor in a way most visitors never expect.
The Windsor City Bus Tour: Where Canada Begins is a two-hour, guided experience that brings the city’s most fascinating stories, landmarks, and viewpoints to life—right from the comfort of your seat. Windsor is Canada’s southernmost city and one of its most important border communities, shaped by the Detroit River, cross-border culture, and pivotal moments in Canadian history.
Led by our engaging storyteller William Windsor, the tour blends memorable narration with must-see scenery as guests travel through key areas of the city and along the riverfront. Along the way, you’ll explore Windsor’s unique role in North American history, including early French settlement, the rise of historic Sandwich Towne, the Underground Railroad, and the city’s legacy of industry and innovation. You’ll also enjoy impressive views of Detroit and landmark crossings, including the Ambassador Bridge and the modern transformation of the corridor with the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
This tour is designed to be easy to follow, entertaining, and deeply local—the kind of experience that leaves guests saying, “I didn’t realize Windsor had a story like this.”
Because Windsor isn’t just a border city.
It’s where Canada begins.
