Distinctively Detroit Tours Takes Home Today! Award at American Bus Association Convention!

We’re buzzing with excitement over here because Distinctively Detroit Tours just snagged the prestigious 2025 TODAY! Award at the American Bus Association Convention! Talk about a moment to celebrate for Distinctively Detroit Tours and the City of Detroit!

Kris Hoff and Tami Manton, the dynamic duo who created the magic of Distinctively Detroit Tours, were recognized for their incredible contributions to the group travel industry and their innovative tours of the greater Detroit region. This award, presented by Groups Today Magazine, isn’t just about the accolades; it’s a nod to the heart and soul they pour into their work. From going behind-the-scenes of the music industry and the only Hip-Hop History Tour all guided by celebrity recording artists to Delicious Detroit Food Tours to The Queens of Detroit Tours, they have created tours that are unique, different, and show off Detroit in a whole new way.

“I am beyond honored to receive this award on behalf of the entire Distinctively Detroit Tour Team,” Kris shared, her enthusiasm palpable. “To have your peers nominate you for an award like this means the world to us. But, in reality we couldn’t do what we do without all the amazing businesses that trusted our vision, the team at Visit Detroit, and our awesome team at Distinctively Detroit Tours. Our entire team is passionate about showing off Detroit and we are all very creative individuals.” It’s clear that Kris and Tami’s dedication is making waves, and the recognition from their peers speaks volumes about the impact they’re having in the community.

“To expand our group tour offerings, we must educate and engage new businesses, locations, and individuals who may be unfamiliar with the specialized requirements, details, and nuances of the group tour industry.” Hoff said. Their passion for connecting people and places shines through, and it’s this drive that sets Distinctively Detroit Tours apart.

So, here’s to the entire Distinctively Detroit Tours team! You’re not just leading the way in the travel industry; you’re creating unforgettable experiences that showcase the true spirit of Detroit.
