Worth it - Colin was well informed, interesting, and interested. He knew about the tour locations as well as additional sites and locations along the way. He was engaging and passionate, and our group learned so many fun nuggets that were repeated and discussed the following days of the vacation.

Great guide with lots of interesting knowledge! - We were the only two on our tour (a chilly weekday) but we never felt that Colin shortchanged us or was bummed that it was just us. In fact, we had a great tour and really learned a lot of tidbits we’d never have known about Chicago. He’s a great guide and I’d highly recommend him to anyone who wants the lowdown on the city’s history.
