Kelly was a great guide - Kelly M was an excellent guide throughout. I heard every word even though I have hearing aids. There was just the right amount of detail and plenty of humour and obvious enthusiasm. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. A great introduction to the architecture of Chicago

Chicago: Must See! - Hannah did such an incredible job with our walking tour! She was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout. Since it was just the four of us it felt like a private tour and I would 1000% do it again!

A winter walk downtown Chicago. - We drove to Chicago from Indiana and found parking to be a bit of challenge. Allow some extra time. The location to pick up your tickets was easily accessible and staff very helpful. The younger ones in our group appreciated Mellinium park and the "bean" sculpture. It was great having buildings pointed out that were otherwise overlooked. Our guide was knowledgeable, personal and showed us a couple of hidden gems. We would do it again!

Great Experience, perfect to explore Chicago - Really loved the tour, would totally recommend! It was really exciting to explore some of Chicago's most impressive buildings and sights with Mary Ann, who was so excited to show her beloved city and tell some funny and interesting stories about it. Thank you so much for this great experience!! 10/10

A Must-Do: The Must-See Walking Tour! - Paul was a fantastic guide. He was so informative, took time to answer our questions, was friendly and caring— even swapped umbrellas with my friend when hers was ruined from the rain. It was the highlight of our trip, even though it was bitterly cold and raining. I grew up 1.5 hrs away from Chicago and have been here several times. Wish I had taken this tour decades ago; my subsequent Chicago trips w/ friends who had never been would’ve been so much more meaningful! The CAC & exhibition great too!

Walk with an expert - Michelle did a great job! It was a cold and rainy day and she kept the group moving. We had two people with us that had never been to Chicago and The had lots of questions. She did a great job answering the questions and trying to keep us warm.
