Colin's varied...
Jacquelyn_F, May 2026
Colin's varied experiences in life, and his enthusiasm about Chicago, make for a very enjoyable tour of the city. He took us to many interesting buildings and shared their history. We were a small group of four on his tour so we could hear well and ask a lot of questions. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
Fantastic tour!

I highly recommend this tour! Colin brings you into some amazing buildings that you would have just walked on by not knowing what you’re missing. I even went back later in the day to show my husband some of my favorite spots since he was unable to go on the tour.
Great Chicago experience for first timers and many timers

We have been to Chicago dozens of times but decided to try Colin’s tour anyway in hopes of learning something new. He was entertaining and informative and we learned fascinating facts about the city that we had never heard before, as well as seeing many beautiful buildings, inside and out. Highly recommended.
