Our tour guide Kevin did a great job explaining what buildings were what as well as some good stories about the area. Learned a lot about the buildings, the city and got to hear Kevin sing. The tour on the river gave great views of the skyscrapers and bridges. Towards the end of the tour I was able to get a great view of the skyline.

Our tour guide (Brooke?) was fantastic! She was engaging, interesting, and fun. I loved her energy and also the information she shared. I learned a lot about Chicago's history and architecture and enjoyed the beautiful views. I especially loved how our guide ended the tour. She talked about Chicago's story as a story of hope and strength. I left feeling uplifted. I highly recommend this tour!
