    We were the only two on our tour (a chilly weekday) but we never felt that Colin shortchanged us or was bummed that it was just us. In fact, we had a great tour and really learned a lot of tidbits we’d never have known about Chicago. He’s a great guide and I’d highly recommend him to anyone who wants the lowdown on the city’s history.

    Colin was very knowledgeable about the city’s history and opened up an appreciation for the art, history and architecture that we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. We had a great time.

    This was my first visit to Chicago and Colin did a great job in showing me so many interesting, beautiful and iconic buildings. He took me to places that I would never have found on my own. Colin was charming, knowledgeable and amusing - everything you want in a guide.
