5.00Mickey is an exceptional guide! Pace was smooth and informative and he was open to answering any and all questions! The information on the tour was a good mix of history and culture with a delightful splash of pop culture and love of his adopted home town. Great tour for anyone from out of town and even for locals who want to connect with a side of the city they may not have explored. Ask for Mickey - seek him out - jovial, well spoken, attentive and fun to be around! 10/10 - no notes!

5.00Gabe was an amazing guide. He filled our bellies with quintessential Chicago cuisine and filled our brains with interesting facts about the city. It’s was the perfect amount of time and combination walking and sitting to eat. I would highly recommend. His mother should be proud.
