5.00David was awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable, well prepared, spent time with with all the guest at various times. He treated us as “his guest” and even at the end of the tour, when he was “off the clock”, walked us back to one of our locations! Really enjoyed the day!
The real Chicago experience.

5.00Very interesting tour, where we covered a lot of ground, but it was made to seem easy. Fun food and places to start, then, yummy dogs, Italian beef and pizza to end. Rich was great and we enjoyed meeting our other new friend Jonathan on the tour as well! We had a lot of fun.
