well worth the money - Danny was very knowledgeble on the highlights of the city. He made sure we got to each place and had the right amount of time, before moving on to the next spot. We got to see the Buckingham fountain all lit up, we saw the Bean at night, and got to see the The Ledge at the top of the Willis Building. He pointed out all the interesting spots, taught us about the history of the city, and made a few quick spots for us to take pictures. Overall, this tour beat my expectations

BOOK IT! This will pay for itself and then some! - LONG REVIEW!! I was skeptical for the cost because typically I would build and execute the plan myself but the convenience of someone who knows the city driving you around, then picking you up is worth the cost alone! The price point already paid for itslef by saving you time and money from walking and/or ride sharing. Now, the bonus you ask! 💯 Danny, he knows the city, the routes, the history, the Van he drives is NICE! Total style. I was flying solo on this adventure and I can't boast how nice it was to have Danny sharing my excitement of what I saw, taking my pics for me, etc. I truly hope you get to experience this city with, Danny! I have never been to Chicago, but have been to many cities and the city itself has so many layers (literally though and pun intended!) that and you can't help but appreciate it when you start pulling back the layer's on that onion (hahaha another pun)! These things I learned on the tour and now take it to find out! That said, the cities visuals start to automatically generate that appreciation and Danny is that cherry on top! Book this, you will not regret it! The architecture, the water, the people, the transportation, the neighborhoods, events, restaurants, activities, you will learn about these on this tour to set the foundation for the rest of your Chicago visit! Danny, you're the man! Thank you!

I couldn’t have experienced all we did by myself for the fee I paid. Well worth it. Thank you. - Our tour guide Jacob was wonderful. He was relaxed and allowed us to experience everything without pushing us. He was well informed and communicated clearly. I’m very glad it was a small group (7).
