Had a great time exploring some old Chicago neighborhoods with Ronnie as a guide. The same streets and buildings you think you know take a whole new meaning once you learn about their past and their previous inhabitants. Ronnie is very knowledgeable and makes this tour a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend this tour for locals and tourists alike.

Great tour of an area I had lived in for years but 1. Didn’t know the history of and 2. Apparently rarely too a close look at the intricate decorative elements of the houses.

My mom and I took this tour in May. It was nicely paced and very informative. Ronnie is a great tour guide and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys sharing his passion. Definitely recommend joining if you have an available day!
