5.00Brayden was an amazing tour guide, who ended up giving our small family group a private tour all over Chicago. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable, even letting us walk in to taste the first ever brownie! I would recommend this tour for anyone who has not been to Chicago before. Also involves a good amount of walking, and sprinkles in more than just crime and gangster discussion, including some talks about the Chicago fire and little known maritime accident. Great time!
Stop what you’re doing and book this.
