Take this tour of Chicago!! - Collin was an excellent tour guide. He brought a combination of enthusiasm, insight, and passion to our walking tour of downtown Chicago. In addition to learning about Chicago’s history, we were able to go inside some incredible buildings, which was a great balance to the boat architecture tour we had taken the day before. We had about 8 people on our tour which was great we saw a few other tours and they were massive. This felt more personal. We had our two teens with us and Collin was able to make it entertaining for them as well. Could not recommend him enough! Highly recommend!

Super knowledgeable - Learned more from Colin than another guide we met over the weekend on other trips. A+++ rating. The only question that stumped him is what Metra stood for:)

Well worth the cost. - Colin was on time, lead us through places that we would not, otherwise, have discovered and was very informative - in a relaxed way. Well worth the cost.

Art, architecture, history, and more - We took this tour on our fourth day in the city, after three days of experiencing the sights highest on our “must see” list on our own, and Colin introduced us to a whole new set of “must sees”, accompanied by the background information we had missed. I especially loved all the art he showed us, inside and outside, well-known and well-loved, some of it right under our feet! Thank you, Colin.

Such an enjoyable tour! - My friend and I met in Chicago for Lollapalooza this summer but also did a bunch of non-Lolla-related activities, including this tour. We had both lived in Chicago and still enjoyed the tour, visited interesting places, and learned new things. Colin was engaging, personable, knowledgeable, and patient with our questions and comments. Highly recommend his tours and would have no hesitation going on another one myself in the future!
