My wife and I had a BLAST. We went as a part of our wedding anniversary and the other person didn’t show up, so it turned into a personal tour for the two of us. It was entertaining and educational, and we laughed and learned so much that by the time it was over, we had no idea it had already been two hours. He also surprised us with Polaroid photos and an interactive quiz game that had us competing for foot shaped hole punches on a card. Highly recommended!!

A truly delightful and stimulating experience! Colin, the Man of a Thousand Pockets, informs, entertains, and jokes his way through Chicago history and culture. I learned so much and really liked seeing parts of the city that felt off the beaten path. I've already recommended the tour to some friends that I know will be traveling soon.
