Really enjoyed and learned a lot with Dave - We really enjoyed and learned a lot of Chicago’s architecture with Dave. He seamed to know a lot, but mainly we felt that he enjoyed sharing his knowledge. As he said, if you don’t like architecture, you can’t be a tourist guide in Chicago. I loved the city and Dave reinforced this feeling.

Lark, you're a rockstar! - We had an amazing time on the tour! Our tour guide, Lark, was so knowledgeable about the architecture and also general history in Chicago. We asked lots of questions as a group, which in turn uncovered even more interesting facts and stories. Would definitely recommend. The timing was spot on, as well. Do note that where you begin is not where you end the tour, but the tour guide should be able to direct you where to go.

To do! - Great experience, with an interesting and open guide who shared his knowledge with great enthusiasm.

The Chicago Riverwalk Architecture Tour with Dave - Visiting Chicago from Atlanta, we decided to explore the city through its famous Riverwalk and booked a tour guided by Dave. Let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience! Dave was an absolute gem of a guide. His passion for Chicago’s architecture was infectious, and his storytelling made the city’s history come alive. From iconic landmarks like Marina City to the towering Willis Tower, every building along the Riverwalk seemed to have a story, and Dave told each one with such clarity and enthusiasm that even someone with no background in architecture (like me!) could appreciate the artistry and history. The Riverwalk itself was stunning—a perfect blend of modern design and natural beauty. Walking along the river, surrounded by Chicago’s breathtaking skyline, was a feast for the senses. The mix of vibrant restaurants, quaint bridges, and serene water views made it feel like I was stepping into a postcard. Dave’s knowledge, humor, and approachable nature turned the tour into more than just a sightseeing trip—it was an experience that left me feeling connected to the city. If you’re visiting Chicago, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you, Dave, for making our first Chicago adventure so memorable!

Fascinating buildings and trends - Ben did an outstanding job. Architecture could be a dry subject but he brought fun and made history live. Thanks Ben. Terri and Harry Budow

Amazing! - Dave was an exceptional guide! Despite the cold we had enjoyed the walk a lot and all the data and history it provided helped us to know more about the City, resolved all our doubts with a lot of kindness. Definitely amazing! I would recommend all my friends and family to take this tour with Dave

What a wonderful tour! - Dave gave us an amazing tour. Despite the cold weather (and it was really freezing) it was our favorite tour-activity in Chicago. We learned so much and enjoyed it so much. An unforgettable memory! Giovanna and Brendan

An exceptional tour!! - Dave was very knowledgeable and pointed out many interesting things along the way. I especially loved that he pointed out the various bricks in the Tribune building. I never would have noticed them if he hadn't told us! Also, he appreciated that he walked at a comfortable pace and pointed out the bathrooms along the way. All in all, an excellent tour guide.

Fun walking tour - This was a very fun tour. Dave was very knowledgeable and informative. I got to see a lot of beautiful architecture while learning about the city’s history. He also gave good recommendations of places to visit.

Walking Tour under the Rain - Dave is very professional and fun to have as a tour guide. You could really feel the love he has for his city. Although the weather was not that great it was still a very enjoyable and informative tour.
