Great tour! Ronnie taught us a lot of history through Wicker Park’s houses and streets, changing the way in which we look at the city forever. Highly recommend!

Ronnie was awesome he's extremely passionate and knowledgeable about architecture and it showed by his passion and his information he was able to share on the tour. The tour uses an application called Atlas which is really nice because it has all the stops on it with photographs and other information about the properties that you're viewing on the trip.

Ronnie is an entertaining and informative docent. This was an architectural tour made more meaningful because he put it all in an historical and social context. The growth of the city and the evolution of neighborhoods was an important factor in the architecture we saw on the tour, and Ronnie helped us to understand that. I took lots of pictures, even though trees and gardens obscured some of the architecture. I might go back in the winter when there are no leaves on the trees and use eAtlas to rewalk the tour route.
