Wallach the tour guide was great! Born and raised in Chicago, he was a wealth of knowledge and a fabulous guide! The sights we covered were exactly what I wanted to see, and the food was excellent too...I tried things I wouldn’t otherwise have thought of. Overall, highly recommend, even IF the temps were 10°!

Our tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable on Chicago . It was raining and a bit cool on the day but we fared well dodging in and out of buildings and getting the guided tour. Chicago has changed a great deal in the last 50 years since I was there . I was impressed with all the old buildings and how well they had endured and had been kept so well.

It was a very expansive tour. Wallach was a great guide, informative and friendly . We learned and experienced so much - the history of Chicago, riding the subway, tasting the Chicago hotdog, pizza and Italian beef sandwich (all delicious), seeing amazing architecture and all of the highlights. A lot of walking but it’s the best way to experience all that Chicago has to offer.
