Wonderful personal tour of Chicago as a city - Steve took us through neighborhoods from downtown through the extensive South side and up into the North side, always with great running commentary on the history, people, and places in each neighborhood. Thus was exactly what we hoped for. It was even better than expected -because Steve lives and works in Chicago he was able to share personal experiences that made the tour even better. We had a wonderful time!

If you want to see Chicago beyond the Bean, River Walk and Lake do take this Southside tour!! - We had been in Chicago for a couple of months and had done all the usual sights. We had a few days remaining and felt there was a big area south we hadn't explored at all. Enter Steve ..... what he doesn't know about the Southside is just not worth knowing. I had no idea just how many famous people were born or spent time in South Chicago. It was such an informative excursion; he drove us all the way down to the Indiana border with a really interesting commentary, identifying all the different neighbourhoods and how they came about. There were lots of stops to take pictures and a nice break in a local coffee shop. I urge you to take this trip which really gave us a much better understanding of the whole of Chicago. Oh.... and those famous people's homes you can see, past and present.... Muddy Waters, Johnny Mathis, the Marx Brothers, Pops Staples, Kanye West, Muhammad Ali, President Obama! Fantastic. Thank you, Steve. We will always remember the three reasons folk from the South travelled to Chicago... JOBS, JOBS AND JOBS!!

Highly recommend tour of Chicago with the Best tour guide!! - Steve is Awesome. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Chicago! Steve has a great sense of humor and makes the tour fun. He took us to popular places as well as places we would have never been able to visit if we hadn’t gone on this tour! There are so many neighborhoods in Chicago and Steve knows them all. I highly recommend taking this tour. He will also pick you up from the airport and take you back for less than an Uber.

Steve was great. Told us... - Steve was great. Told us a lot of history about the neighborhoods. Picked us up on time and explained everything and how it all got started . Would use him again if we could

Friendly and very... - Friendly and very informative about Chicago neighborhoods, culture and history. Steve Johnson welcomes questions and pictures.

Great insights into Chicago’s culture - Steve’s tour of Chicago neighborhoods was amazing and comprehensive. I have lived in the Chicago area for 30 years and we visited places that were totally new to me. My friend and I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in Chicago’s culture and the differences and unique aspects of the individual neighborhoods throughout Chicago.

Backyard tour of Chicago - We lhave lived in the midwest all our life but never took the opportunity to explore Chicago. This tour took us into neighborhoods that we would have never seen otherwise.

the BEST city tour Ever- no kidding! We LOVE Chicago. - We travel frequently and a favorite activity is learning about where we aret. Some tours are better than others, but nothing prepared us for how Amazing and wonderful our day was in Chicago with tour guide Steve! His knowledge of the neighborhoods was encyclopedic and his narration of it all was just a pure delight. In a full day we had lunch and dinner and both meals showed off the very best of the city's cuisine. BTW the vehicle we rode in was spotless and obviously well maintained. This is the most enjoyable city tour EVER including Europe too. Chicago now has a special place in our memory.

Now the southside of Chicago…… - Overall, the small group tour of the north and south of Chicago with Steven was quite enjoyable. Despite a few hiccups, it provided a good overview of the city. Steven's knowledge was evident, and he shared interesting tidbits about the areas we visited. However, there were some issues, such as Steven being an hour late to pick us up due to confusion about our booking. Additionally, his driving was a bit erratic, which was concerning at times. I wish we could have made more stops along the way to explore different locations, but the tour still lasted over four hours, giving us a comprehensive glimpse of the city. It's a great option for those looking to get a taste of Chicago and plan future visits at a more leisurely pace.

Bad policy - Boooo, they discriminate against solo travelers. If you don’t have two people going they won’t sign you up for the tour. Very bad and unfair policy.
