This was such a fun tour. I’ve lived in Chicago for 6 years now and one of those years I lived right around the corner from where this tour took place. I walked these same streets and had no idea the history. The tour guide is so knowledgeable and kept it fun! Can’t wait to take more of his tours!

Such a fun tour! We live in the neighborhood and wanted to learn a little more about the houses we see each day. Ronnie was so informative, passionate and professional. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking to learn about the history of Old Town while viewing beautiful structures along the way!
