Wear your walking shoes
Shawna_L, Feb 2026
Lots of walking, beautiful sights, and history. Bring a fully charged phone/camera. Colin is really nice, thoughtful in knowing where the good restrooms are!
Well worth the money spent.

Colin was an excellent teacher and very knowledgeable about the history of Chicago and its architecture. Took us to a number of places we would had no idea existed.
Greatest tour of historic Chicago
Jason R, Jan 2026
Colin was a great tour guide. He knew exactly where to go, the history of each stop, and Chicago inside and out. I only wish we had more time to explore more of Chicago but I don’t think my legs could handle it.
