I give the tour and places visited a 5 star but tour guide was late. He then proceeded to tell us before we could close the door of the vehicle that our pickup was out of the zone and it would cost an additional $15 to bring us back. This was irritating since the reservation was made online a week earlier with location noted without any issues. He acknowledged not reviewing the reservation and noting the pickup location but it still would cost $15 to bring us back. Besides that issue the tour was great and we saw many memorable sites. I recommend the tour if you want the Black history of Chicago.

Although the tour itself was great, my 3 star review is based on a few things I was not pleased with. First, the tour was scheduled for 11 am, yet I received a call at 10:30 am stating that they overbooked and there was no room for my husband and I in the car. Although the driver did offer to pick us up at 4pm, it was a huge inconvenience, as we had plans we then had to cancel for the evening. My other frustration is that the description of this tour is misleading. It does not include dinner at all. Our tour guide took us to a restaurant of his choosing, and then told us he wasn’t paying when the bill came. This is obviously confusing for others who book this tour, as the waiter commented “this happens all the time.” Please change your description to say “travel to dinner is included, but customers are on their own to pay.”

Steve the guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about Chicago. He willingness to make additional stops and explain more about the history. I recommend Viator to update the website with accurate tour components. Make guests aware the meal is extra and based on time
