Our group had a great time walking through the city discovering well known spots and some hidden gems. Colin was super fun and kept us engaged the whole time as well. One of our favorite memories from Chicago.

We took my in-laws on Colin’s tour when they were visiting Chicago and we all had a great time! Even us locals learned a lot because he mixes in unique stories and history along with the more well-known facts. He’s also funny and engaging, definitely recommend!

If you’re in Chicago this tour is a must! Colin was so welcoming, knowledgeable and entertaining. He took us on a hidden journey around the city, to places there is no way we would have found without him! By far the best walking tour I’ve ever been on and I will definitely be recommending it to any friend that visits Chicago!
