Absolutely AMAZING tour! Colm was a phenomenal tour guide, literally one of the best we have encountered. The tour was packed and included so many unexpected stops. Colm tailored the tour to our interests and pace. We wanted to see as much as possible and we did! Best aspect, Colm was incredibly knowledgeable about Chicago, specifically history and architecture. He was very intentional in pointing out the smallest, most intriguing details that we would have otherwise missed. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
