Fun and informative! - The host was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. It was very hard for him given that the trains and traffic were loud but he still provided some awesome information.

Engaging tour - Great tour guide. Interesting story teller that keeps you engaged. Enthusiasm for what he is saying that keeps you alert. Had a great gait. He wasn’t hard to keep up with. Made eye contact and kept the ball rolling. He apologized for this being the last tour of a long day but you couldn’t tell it. Answer all my questions and gave very thorough responses. A wonderful time was had by all. I would recommend anyone visiting Chicago. You could tell that he really did love the history of the town and he knew his stuff. I bet he constantly researches he history in old books.

History of early Chicago - Well worth doing this tour for the great history lesson on the beginnings of Chicago Prohibition and how some businesses came to be. So much to take in wish it could have been a bit longer!!

Fantastic! - Was great! Lark was amazing and very knowledgeable! Learned quite a bit and was worth the money. It’s about a 2 mile walk and you don’t end where you start so be prepared for that!

Worth going for sure! - Wonderful experience. Ben was very informative and energetic. Learned new details about Chicago even though I’d been there multiple times. Some of the stopping points were crowded and very hot.
