This tour was fascinating...

This tour was fascinating and Joseph was such an engaging tour guide! A majority of the tour was spent inside looking at interior architecture, with brief walks outside to get to the next destination (much appreciated on this 10 degree winter day!) Would definitely book again

10/10 Tour + Guide

had Alyssa. She was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and excited to share the information. She was very personable as well. Tour stuck to the theme very well and there were plenty of interesting facts that I was never aware of. The history of Chicago is very rich. Would 100% recommend to other tourists or people who love history. Plenty of different people in my tour group, from couples to people with kids. Alyssa was welcoming to all. Ran into sooo many problems on my trip in Chicago, this tour was by far the highlight of my trip. I will definitely be doing something similar whenever I come back.

Great historical/ghost tour of “millionaire’s row”

While in town for work I was looking for something interesting to do near the conference center/hotels by McCormick. This was a phenomenal walking tour of some of Chicago’s oldest residences built around the 1880s. The tour guide Tony is extremely knowledgeable about local history and a great storyteller. Definitely some haunted spaces, he gave us EMF meters to play with and we picked up signals in several locations. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!
