Great Intro to Chicago with Super Knowledgeable Guide - This was a wonderful tour! A great intro of Chicago, getting good ideas for your remaining days. The other guests didn’t show up, so I ended up getting a 1 on 1 tour with Dash. He is super knowledgeable with a clear passion for the arts, pointing out every element of decor on and within a building. Dash was attentive and kind and it was a truly great day! Thanks so much!

Warmness of a cold day - Dash is awesome! It’s a small tour. Only me and another guy. It was a very cold Monday. Dash knows almost every single building in downtown Chicago. He is friendly, knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful. The food was great. Dash knows where is the best spot. I would highly recommend people to take this tour. And Dash, definitely is the person you should trust!

Outstanding tour by Chicago Dave - The tour by “Chicago Dave” was genuinely one of the best I have been on across all of the cities I’ve visited. His passion of Chicago is only matched by his knowledge. He engaged with everyone and the special touches of bringing in film references was great. Highly recommended

Chicago Dave made our tour fund and informative. - Had a great day with Chicago Dave. From our check in text message right through the tour Dave was organised, authentic, left on time but still managed a few late arrivals due to flight delays and still picked them up along the way. Awesome day, very informative, Dave is invested and passionate about his city and we made friends with our group and continued after the tour to a bar that Dave recommended for a few drinks. Fantastic day and tour. Thanks Dave for all of the photos as well. Five ⭐️ mate.
