Chicago Walking Tour: A Magnífica Milha

Ron Roman led the tour and he was absolutely wonderful! Deep knowledge of the history of the buildings and very caring presentation-he obviously loves being a docent and giving joy to other people. We have been on seven or eight tours in the last year and we always learn something new. Well done!

My friend and I are visiting from Nashville in Houston and wanted to explore a little bit of the architecture of the city. We went on a tour with Ron, (who was absolutely fantastic!!), and learned a lot about the buildings on the magnificent mile. My only wish is that we would’ve done it on our first day here, versus the day before we left, so we would know more about the buildings and which ones to explore a little more. Thank you so much. Look forward to another tour the next time I’m in Chicago!

Jim was a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable not only about the architectural aspects of the buildings but also has an impressive command of a vast array of Chicago history. He expertly blended interesting anecdotes about the people of Chicago throughout the tour. Highly recommended!

Fun and Informative. Enjoyed our tour with docent Bob Morehead who described architecture style and elements, history and relevant stories of the buildings we have walked by many times with only a passing glance. We have better appreciation of their elegance and significance to Chicago.

Tom was excellent and provided a wealth of information & insight. His style of sharing information truly gets one excited about historical facts and architecture. Would highly recommend this experience.

Our docent Sandy B was excellent. We learned a lot in a very relaxed way. She presented well but was also open to listening to our observations and questions

The tour was very interesting but Chicago is so cold!!

Katie was an awesome tour guide!!We learned a lot about the Mag Mile and appreciated her insight.

Holly was great, kept us moving, had interesting material and wove it together well under the theme of the Mag Mile thru history - what it looked like 100 years ago, current architecture ( both with appropriate building examples), and some comments on what the future might hold. Holly also made sure we had some opportunities to either escape a very frigid wind or step into a building to warm up.

I took this tour with Mitch, and it was so interesting! His explanations were clear and organized, yet he truly tailored the experience to his audience (and in consideration of the cold weather!). He was a wealth of information, with interesting facts and quotes. Now I can walk up and down Michigan Avenue enjoying the buildings I got to know through his tour.
