Today was the best day! With Rich as our groups tour guide, we saw so many amazing sights in Chicago. He had facts about every single spot we visited and kept the group entertained all day. My favorite spot was the Chicago Cultural Center, closely seconded by Cloud Gate (the bean). We tried some delicious food, and I can’t get over Als Italian beef sandwich. Wow! I highly recommend taking this walking tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Rich as your guide.

The tour guide was excellent. Had many great stories to tell while providing you knowledge on the architecture and the city. The food was awesome. Couldn’t decide which food item was the best. All so flavorful and different from what I can get in LA
