Our tour guide, Davis was awesome! He was knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting. You could definitely see he had great pride and passion for Chicago. We were traveling with our children and he made sure to add in fun for the kids like sliding down the Picasso with them. I would definitely take another tour with this company and especially David.

This tour was well organized and informative about the history and architecture of Chicago. Wallach told us the story of the SS Eastland, and Death Alley. He showed us the Tiffany ceiling in the Mercantile Building. Kelly did a fine job introducing us to Chicago hotdogs, Chicago deep dish pizza, Chicago beef sandwiches, and finished with a large slice of chocolate cake. This was an enjoyable tour.

David was great at making sure everyone had a great time and felt welcome! He mixed facts, personal stories and humor the whole time! We also sampled excellent authentic Chicago food! The 5 hours flew by! David should be the official PR person for Chicago! I learned so much and have a new appreciation for the Windy City, that did things thought impossible to make it what it is today!
