I’ve taken several tours in Chicago and this is one of my favorites. The cottages themselves were very interesting to see, and our host provided us with great historical tidbits and the context of each house, which makes the whole experience full and rich. Thanks, Ronnie!

A new way to look at Chicago!

Great tour! Ronnie taught us a lot of history through Wicker Park’s houses and streets, changing the way in which we look at the city forever. Highly recommend!

Ronnie was awesome he's extremely passionate and knowledgeable about architecture and it showed by his passion and his information he was able to share on the tour. The tour uses an application called Atlas which is really nice because it has all the stops on it with photographs and other information about the properties that you're viewing on the trip.
