Great Tour of Chicago

My boyfriend and I had an awesome tour of Chicago with this company. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to take a lot of pictures and hear a lot of behind the scence information about shows and movies that were made in the area! Every part of our tour was wheelchair accessible. We had a blast!

Excellent tour, excellent tour guide

This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on anywhere in the world. Not only was our guide, Dan, an absolute fountain of knowledge but he was extremely funny and really easy to chat to and ask questions. Alongside the superb insights into the locations and the industry as a whole, we also gained a better understanding of the layout of the city and some of the landmarks and other attractions. We went to a few other attractions off the back of the advice Dan have to us. I really would recommend this tour. Ours was private but I think it would be equally as good in a group. Perfect blend of walking and stopping. Really can’t impress how good Dan was either.

Movie and TV Sites Galore!

Lots of fun sights including "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Blues Brothers", and "The Dark Knight". That's only a few. Dan was fun to talk to and we definitely got our money's worth with extra time on our tour.
