We had a terrific day out in Chicago. Rich was our excellent tour guide. We were lucky that there was just the two of us on a really stunning Chicago November day (bright sun and 70 degrees) - we had a private tour! The architectural tour in the morning took in the urban beauty of downtown Chicago. We started with some Garrett's popcorn and finished with Frango chocolates from Marshall Field's (now known as Macy's). The Cultural Centre, Palmer Hotel and the Bean were particular highlights.In the afternoon we took the L north and enjoyed three very different Chicago food traditions - the Chicago hot dog at Portillo's, an Italian beef sandwich at Big Al's and deep dish pizza at Malnati's. Each was delicious, different from the others and had an interesting story. We found the servings (half a hot dog, half a beef sandwich and two slices of pizza) to be more than enough.Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and carry a bottle of water. The pace was perfectly fine for us. The architectural part of the tour also helped us to get our bearings in Chicago downtown.Rich was very personable and full of interesting Chicago information. We think a "don't miss" thing to do on a visit to Chicago.

I loved every moment of my private tour! Dave was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the amazing treasures in downtown Chicago. The stories that go with the architecture, the Chicago Fire, and the food we ate were fascinating. The five hours flew by!

It was a wonderful experience! The walking day tour with Rich who was archaeologists enthralled us with the history of Chicago. Brought us to the best food places.It was really convenient to reach the places. The food was bountiful. The meals were wholesome and delicious. We were treated to wonderful meals in Chicago that let us sample.Hope to do it again in our next visit!!Rich helps to make this tour into the A plus category.

A must do for a day in Chicago! This was my first time visiting Chicago and I could not have been more pleased with this tour. We visited all the main highlights and also places that I would have never been if I was venturing alone. The food was tasty and the itinerary of the tour was great.Dave was an awesome guide! You can tell that he is super passionate about Chicago and made it a point to make sure that everyone was having a good time. It's the little things that went a long way, such as remembering all of our names, providing an umbrella once it started raining and he made sure we all knew where we were going once the tour ended. Would recommend!
