    I would do this twice!

    TKeyah_L, Aug 2026
    This felt like hanging out with a group of friends I had known forever, it was a highlight of my trip! Every food choice was a hit, I could've shopped in the store spots all day (hidden gems) and the history we went over gives you such a fond appreciation for Chicago and even more reasons to love this place! I'm considering even moving to Hyde Park. I'm so impressed! Loved the community.

    This was an amazing...

    RAMONE_J, Aug 2026
    This was an amazing experience. Not only was I educated on the black history and culture of South side chicago, my fiance and I ate great local food. Our guide did not rush us. She took her time! Would definitely book this again.
