Be prepared to learn much about Chicago's past as you tour many famous areas of this amazing city! Rick will keep you highly entertained with his narration of the tour and stories about the history of Chicago. I was suprised that he has only lived here about 15 years as his knowledge of the city would make you think he was a life long resident. You cant go wrong with this tour!! Ken & Joyce Lexington, KY

This tour was a great overview of all the top spots to see in Chicago. Rick was very friendly. I would recommend this tour as a starting point for your Chicago trip. There are other tours that go into greater detail about sites.

Rick was well informed, enthusiastic and very funny. He kept us laughing in between sites. I traveled from Puerto Rico to spend Mother's Day weekend with my daughter and this was one of the highlights of my first visit to Chicago.
