Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Chicago. We were only in Chicago for a few hours and wanted to see the sights. He made sure to take us to all the main places. At no time did he rush us. Great tour!

Excellent.

Dean was a very nice guy, very punctual. Knew where he was going how to navigate around the city? The tour took a little bit longer because we had chosen the evening won so traffic was worse but he never once complained he was very kind. I would definitely recommend him for any type of tour you want to do in Chicago? He even dropped us off out of his way at a restaurant on our way back to the hotel.

Operator response

Thanks for the awesome review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour!

Awesome Chicago tour w/Chicago Fire & PD highlights!!

We had a fantastic tour of Chicago PD and Chicago FD sites from the TV shows. We saw the firehouse, fire training academy, police station, and many familiar landmarks from the shows. We also saw Lake Michigan, the “Bean”, etc. We got to enjoy a drink at Chicago Fire’s Molly’s Bar (Lottie’s)

Thank you and we hope to see you again soon!
