Hannah did such an incredible job with our walking tour! She was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout. Since it was just the four of us it felt like a private tour and I would 1000% do it again!

We drove to Chicago from Indiana and found parking to be a bit of challenge. Allow some extra time. The location to pick up your tickets was easily accessible and staff very helpful. The younger ones in our group appreciated Mellinium park and the "bean" sculpture. It was great having buildings pointed out that were otherwise overlooked. Our guide was knowledgeable, personal and showed us a couple of hidden gems. We would do it again!
