What a great and unique walking tour. Colin was a great guide. He showed us so many interesting areas of art, architecture and history throughout the city. His stories were great! We never would have been able to uncover these hidden gems on our own. It was an overall great window in Chicago history.

Super fun tour! We're Chicagoans and we learned a lot. Colin is a pro and a great storyteller. 5/5, highly recommend!

Colin was a friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous guide through the city! We learned so much and got to see some impressive sights, including insides and outsides of some cool buildings. We’ve been to Chicago several times before but this time left with much more insight into its history than we’ve had before. The two hour two flew by. We’d definitely do this tour again - well worth the time and cost!
