I booked this tour for something interesting to do before my evening flight back home. It was amazing and totally worth the money! Kai was an awesome and super knowledgeable tour guide! Although the walk covered a lot of area it didn’t seem long at all, and all of it was interesting. Kai hit all the important things a tour guide should have- good stories, considerate of the tourists’ questions, told us exactly how the tour would go and and the time it would take (really important for me since I needed to be at the airport at a specific time), and easy to hear and understand! I’m taking my husband along next time!

Great experience! Fun and entertaining history about Chicago! Kai was amazing and made the whole tour perfect! I thought the walking would be a lot, it's not. We would stop and learn something, then continue on. So it's not fast passed.

Doug was our tour guide and he was awesome! He kept the interest of not only us but our teenage son! We took the 8pm tour, which was chilly but we dressed accordingly. The tour was around 2 hours long but it went by fast. We learned so much and saw some cool sights.

Doug was a great guide! Very animated and a really good storyteller. Even our teens were drawn in to the stories and history lessons! Well done, Doug! 5/5!
