Our guide, Rick, was punctual, witty, and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Chicago area, including its history, architecture and funny little tidbits. My wife and I felt the appropriate 2.5 hour tour was quite sufficient to get an overview of Chicago. Being our 1st year anniversary, we appreciated having the opportunity to take memorable photos during the tour as well. The comfortable mini-bus with big windows was great as you could see everything Rick pointed out along the route. We highly recommend this tour to first-timers (as was the case with my wife), locals, long-time residents and anyone in between. Rick does a superb job and is entertaining to boot. Worth every penny!!
