Great tour & Guide - Steve was our tour guide and he did an AMAZING job! He was punctual for pickup which was great because my husband is a stickler for time. He gave indepth explanantions of the sites we saw and didn't hesitate to take our pics so we would have the memories. It was snowing and cold and we still had a great time. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Unforgettable Tour! - Absolutely the best tour! Book it as soon as possible before it sells out. Steve provided incredible insights into the African American experience in Chicago from the beginning to today. We stop and took pictures at many important points including the Obama’s! Steve provided a solid overview of factual information. The tour also included unexpected stops, adding even more depth and value. Truly the best tour I’ve ever taken!

Exceptional - Steve is as knowledgeable as he is entertaining. Tour was everything I'd hoped for and more. Take a half a day to learn from a true native.

One of the best African American museums. - The museum was even more than I expected. I recommend this tour to anyone who cares about American history. I learned a lot about South Carolina and VIPs who were born there.

So much useful info. I recommend Black families too! - Steve is a local and knew things I'd miss out on with my other scheduled tours. He's passionate about Chicago and had many photo opportunities. He made sure everyone had a good experience. I travel solo and he offered to take pictures for me whenever I needed. I'd recommend this trip and hopefully Steve will be your tour guide.

Knowledgeable FACTS!! - I was unable to upload my photos; however, I would like to add them at a later date. The tour was very interesting and informative; however, the tour guide was a little impatient....as a photographer, while I'm taking photos, I didn't always hear or see what he was pointing to and when I asked, he had an attitude. Also while touring, he needs to learn to say whether the bldg was on the left or the right, "not over there". He was helpful in trying to take your photo.....Also while talking, we could not alway hear in the back, He probably needed a mic. We had some very interesting sights.
