5.00Braeden was a terrific guide and had a lot of interesting stories about Chicago, with photos on his phone to enhance the stories. We saw some places we would not have known to explore on our own.
Great Way to Learn About Chicago!

5.00This was a great tour experience. Andre was very engaging and knowledgeable. The tour pacing was excellent and the length was spot on. Andre welcomed questions and made sure to answer each one thoroughly. During the tour we kept moving but never felt rushed. As someone who has visited Chicago quite a bit over the years, I appreciated learning new things about the Windy City. For the price, it’s a great way to spend a couple of hours if you’re someone who is curious about Chicago’s history and those who have passed on.
