My first visit to an automobile factory. This factory has great history and also demonstrates creative thinking during its modernization. A must Dearborn visit includes Greenfield Village, The Henry Ford and The Rouge. More

I am an automotive engineer so this is what I do for a living, but Rouge Tour brings out so many fun and interesting facts that I take for granted.

I have been here twice, once when the factory was in production and once when it was not. Much better when in production. Self guiding tour, read the prompts. More

I really saw how an automobile line works. Also some interesting old cars. Would recommend doing this with a small group versus a large group to cut down on your waiting time. More

We saw 2 movies there, one on Henry ford and the other on manufacturing. After the movies you can see the production area from Catwolks. There are Ford people all around to answer any question you may have. This is a must see and I woudl go again. It is amazing how the trucks are put together. More

I am a member of the Henry Ford and finally did this tour. It was far better than I expected! I had no idea Ford did so much. I grew up on the west coast and we don't drive that many Fords out there, this really warmed my heart to the Ford company. More

Reviews must be at least 50 characters which they don't tell you before you write the review so the basic rating and title should tell you what I feel about the place. More

Interesting to see it in production and so clean! If you are interested in what people and companies are doing to make businesses "green", environmentally responsible and beneficial, this is a must see. Interesting Tour! More
