Had a great time roaming the cemetery and learning about the folks buried there, as well as their place in the history of Chicago. Could have gone on longer!

The team was very responsive to communication when I had a time-sensitive question. They were also gracious when we missed an email from them earlier in the week and were patient when we arrived a few minutes late to the tour. Amanda, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and a total pleasure to spend time with. We learned a lot and had a great time doing it. I'm hoping that there will be tours at different locations offered in the future. I'm a big fan and would love another chance to support these folks!

Larry was very knowledgeable, relaxed story teller. Walked at a nice pace, personalized the tour when we had questions of monuments we passed. We liked the flexible times of his tour as well. As the afternoon got cooler after 75-minutes we followed him to the mausoleum and saw the most amazing Tiffany windows. There are so many nuances we agreed we will need to take the tour again. Highly recommend.

He was 15 minutes late and ended the tour 10 minutes early, also some of his humor was inappropriate. But I will say he was very well versed on the history of Rosehill.
