A very enjoyable tour and a great guide. - I thoroughly enjoyed the history museum tour and Bernie was an excellent guide. He shared quite a bit of his expansive knowledge on the walk from the Hostel to the L station. It was a great introduction to the museum and I hope to return on a future visit.

- Decided to sign up at the last minute for the tour and very glad I did. It was a great experience. The museum itself was one of the best ones in Chicago. And our tour guide was great. Small group so that was nice. And he was very knowledgable about Chicago, funny, and had answers to all the questions from our group. He was a Chicago native so he knew the city really well. I would highly recommend taking a tour with him. This is the best way to experience all museums in Chicago.
