Superb private tour! - Perfect private tour! During winterpeak of -23 degrees Celsius, my husband found some hidden gems which some real Chicagoans don’t even know about! Followed by local chicago bar/restaurants tour. Fell in love with this city thanks to Leentje! We’ll be back!

Great Tour of Downtown Chicago! - Our guide Dave reached out prior to learn about what we wanted to do and see. He timely met us at our hotel and gave us a GREAT tour of downtown Chicago including lots of history, facts and places we had not considered including the Cultural Center which was beautiful. We only had a short period of time in the City so this tour really helped us get the most out of our stay.

Highlights for half-day visitors - Want to spend a short time in Chicago and still visit the city's highlights? Choose a private tour of 3 hours. We had some bad luck, which meant we arrived much late for our appointment. However, Leentje made the effort to ensure that we enjoyed the most beautiful architecture and works of art in and around various buildings and of course the unmissable Millenium Park. The icing on the cake... a wonderful surprise! Just do it!

Chicago goes local - Had a great guided tour! We asked Leentje to think out of the box because we had already planned several tourist attractions. Leentje did this with verve! We got to know Chicago in a way from a local. Super interesting! We also asked for some nice and tasty places to eat and we tried them all and they were top places! Leentje is the ideal guide in Chicago, highly recommended! Thanks Leentje, Jen is a great lady! We will definitely come back to guide us through Chicago with you :-) Greetings Joke and Bart

One word: perfection! - Leentje gave us an exceptional experience! She was so accommodating...she did everything to make our lives easier... We toured downtown and Chicago's many neighborhoods and landmarks while she explained every story and detail to us. Sweet, warm, friendly, she has a very in-depth knowledge of Chicago. His love for the city is contagious! Your rating system only allows you to give 5 stars, but I would have preferred to give 10 or 20…

We would highly recommend an architectural tour in Chicago with Dave. - Dave was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. He took us to sites we had walked by many times without knowing the history. Our 18 year old was fascinated by the tour as well.
