    Guide never showed. We sent messages and called multiple times: no answer. Waited for 30 min. Got an email the next day offering a refund. Too little too late.

    Grant was an extremely warm, knowledgeable and organized tour guide. He seamlessly lead a group of 15-20 of us from building to building. It was a very cold day but we do spend a good amount of time indoors so the weather felt really manageable. It was really cool to learn about different architecture styles and history behind the buildings. We saw some interiors that I never would have known about. This was an awesome experience with my family and I would highly recommend to others.

    Avery gave us a lot of good info on the tour and kept the group moving along. It did not overlap at all with a boat tour. We were glad we did this.

    We booked this last minute as we decided to spend a half day in Chicago exploring. Ethan was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. We discovered interiors we would have otherwise walked by without any knowledge of what hidden gems lay inside. Thank you SO much!
