We arrived in Chicago and within two hours we scheduled this awesome bus tour. Our guide was the energetic and thoroughly entertaining PAUL, who had so much interesting information we felt like our heads were on a swivel! We could have listened to his stories, entertainment tips, and nostalgia all day.....in fact, we hated leaving him! I am a travel agent and I highly recommend this company and PAUL!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Laura Lee. We only work with the top guides in town. Paul is definitely a part of that exclusive group. On behalf of Paul and myself, we hope to see you on another one of our tours should you come back to Chicago.
