Tour was fine! We moved...
Arielle_L, Sept 2025
Tour was fine! We moved pretty slow and didn’t cover a lot of ground. I was hoping for more information specific to Lincoln park, but I would say about a third of the tour was about Lincoln park history, a third was general Chicago information, and a third was recommendations for places to go around the city. As a local myself, I would say too that the recommendations were mostly for touristy spots, and weren’t any fun “hidden gems.”
