Kelly was an absolutely amazing tour guide - we seriously couldn’t have dreamed of a better person to show us around the city: extremely knowledgeable, caring, and organized. We saw all the beautiful sites around the city along with their backstory. At no point did we feel rushed or hungry. The food was delicious and abundant. Kelly even provided amazing tips for things to do after the tour. Well worth it — you won’t regret it. Thank you!

My mother came back to visit Chicago for the first time since she was a kid and our tour guide David made the experience perfect and so memorable. My son and I accompanied her as well and David’s love and passion for the City of Chicago was contagious. Amazing tour! So much information, personalized experience, delicious food. Can’t do Chicago with out this tour and David as your guide. Thanks Dave for the salubrious experience!

Kelly was a fantastic guide!! She was very knowledgeable of the history of Chicago, history of the architecture, great places to eat, and the easiest ways to navigate the city. She went above and beyond to answer any questions we had and pointed out so many unique things in the city to check out in our free time. I can’t recommend this tour enough and hope you get Kelly as your tour guide!! Jo Ann and Melinda
