Colin was engaging and had so many fun facts about the buildings and history that we explored. I loved his humor and insight and was amazed by all that we were able to see in such a short time.

Finding unbelievable treasures!! - Colin was engaging, with interesting historical stories and fun facts. He had maps and an iPad with him to fully flesh out his tales and bring them to life. Colin didn’t just take us around the blocks of Chicago. We ventured through and between and even under the heart of Chicago. Colin kept us entertained and I hardly noticed the time flying by. Would definitely recommend!

Don’t miss this tour! - Within ten minutes, we were joking around with Colin as if we had known him for years. This tour made us feel like travelers instead of tourists, as Colin showed us hidden symbols, took us through nondescript entrances that were portals to art deco masterpieces, and even tailored the tour to let us do a bit of window shopping in the amazing Marshall Fields building. You are guaranteed to see something you otherwise would have missed. Thanks, Colin!

Bravo, Colin!!! - Colin was amazing. We had a great time with him. His take on Chicago history and culture was presented in in fun little bite size kernels of knowledge. I highly recommend choosing Colin as your guide next time you are in Chicago p.s. We hope Colin starts a pasta crawl tour that mirrors the tour he takes his out-of-town friends when they visit.
