Fun movie tour - The tour guide, Dan, was down to earth and entertaining. He has worked as an extra and stand in on many movies and shows so his personal experience really added to the experience. It was a lot of fun and great to see so many sites.

Had a great time! - Would highly recommend this tour! We had such a great time seeing all of the filming locations and getting the behind the scenes info from Dan, our tour guide. He knew so much about the film industry in Chicago and shared all of his experiences.

TV and Movie Sites Tour - I highly recommend this tour -- Dan was a wonderful tour guide. His passion for his job was truly evident as he shared stories about the sites around the city where movies and TV shows were filmed. Worth every penny of the tour fee. Provided a great recommendation for lunch after the tour concluded. If back in the area would take his tour again.

Entertaining tour with a fantastic guide - This tour was brilliant. Dan, our guide, was very informative and also had stills/photos from the movies and TV series to compare and match with the locations we visited. Dan himself is an actor and an extra in numerous TV series so really knew his stuff. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in movies and TV and it's an opportunity to see some lovely Chicago architecture along the way.

Great walking tour in Chicago - We really enjoyed this tour. Dan was a fantastic tour guide, he showed us lots of filming locations. He also works in the industry so was able to give us a lot of interesting insights into the industry. We’ve done a few tours on this trip and this was by far the best. 10/10

Awesome Tour! Awesome Guide! - Many thanks to Dan for a great private tour! We are from the Chicago area, but still learned so much! We had no idea about some locations from famous movies that were actually filmed in Chicago. As a member of the industry, Dan is knowledgeable about the facts he wants to share with his guests, but also shares some very cool insight based on his active experience in the industry. 5 stars and highly recommended. Thanks Dan!

Cool tour - The Downtown Chicago TV & Movie Sites Tour is really great especially if you take the time to watch the films or shows that are featured on the tour. It was really cool to see the locations that were a part of scenes filmed there. Dan was very informative and had many insights as he has experience in the Chicago film industry. Highly recommend.

The Dan Show, it’s all about the guide - The ‘DAN SHOW’ made what would have been an amazing tour into a mediocre tour, the locations and content of the tour was top notch, however Dan bragged and took every opportunity to talk about him and his work as an extra, which was disappointing.

Do yourself a favor - skip this tour! - We took this walking tour during our family vacation. Not only was the guide late in arriving to our meeting destination but so were everyone else. Instructions are to arrive 15 minutes prior to the tour start at 10:00 a.m. The guide arrived at 9:55 the guide made us wait until 10:20 for others to arrive. Also, after that other arrived and just joined in without showing any reservation or pass. The guide was terrible - literally all he did was talk about himself and how he is a stand in for various shows and what it is he did in that role. He showed pictures on his phone of various actors - pictures you can see in any magazine! This is not what the tour was supposed to be about. We left the tour very shortly after we started when we realized this was all about the guide and nothing about movie or tv sites. This is the worst tour ever and I wish we had never booked it! It was a total waste of money. Do yourself a favor a skip it.
