FOUR THUMBS UP FOR THE WALKIN' WITH COLIN TOUR! - We loved the Walkin' with Colin tour! It was so informative and interesting from the first minute to the last. We would never have seen the interiors of Chicago's cool buildings if we hadn't done the tour with Colin. The two hours flew by. Highly recommended if you're in Chicago!!

Informative and entertaining walking tour - This walking tour was a great compliment to a Chicago Architecture river tour we had done the day before. Colin is very engaging and showed us some incredible sights that we probably wouldn't have found on our own, while filling us in on the history and background of these great Chicago landmarks.

Colin knows Chicago! - Colin definitely knows Chicago - and not just the same ol stories you hear on other tours…his stories are informative and entertaining. We took a bus tour that same evening and it was amazing how much of the same area we covered walking with Colin and how much more we learned talking with him with the added ability to go inside buildings and explore. If you enjoy small group tours with a personal flair - tour with Colin! We loved the experience.
