De djupa fickorna på Graceland Cemetery Walking Tour

Stumbled on his Instagram and immediately booked a tour for the next day, and honestly it was the best decision ever. We did both the Wicker Park and the Graceland Cemetery tours and they were incredible. We’ve since gone on another one and at this point we honestly can’t wait to do the rest of them. He is such an incredible storyteller and without a doubt runs the best walking tours in Chicago. We’ve already recommended him to so many people, and everyone we’ve talked to who has gone says the exact same things. We also ended up buying two copies of his Doorways of Chicago book so we could keep one at home and put one in the office, and the patients are totally obsessed with flipping through it. Truly cannot recommend enough!

We’ve now done multiple tours with Ronnie, and once again he delivered an outstanding experience. The Graceland Cemetery tour was fascinating from start to finish. It was incredible to learn about the history of Chicago through the stories of the visionaries, innovators, and influential figures who helped shape the city. Ronnie has a gift for bringing history to life. Every stop had a story that was engaging, meaningful, and full of details we never would have noticed on our own. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion makes the experience unforgettable. Whether you’re a lifelong Chicagoan or just visiting, this tour offers a whole new perspective on the city’s history. We left with an even greater appreciation for Chicago and are already looking forward to our next tour with Ronnie. Highly recommend!

This tour focuses on the gravesites and mausoleums of Chicago’s most successful businessmen and architects of the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Our tour guide, Ronnie was very informative and also did a great job of incorporating his website into the tour (you scanned a QR Code to access additional tour content). I would highly recommend this tour!

This trip around Graceland with Ronnie Frey was awesome. We learned about famous Chicagoans, their innovations and impact on city history. We were fascinated by Ronnie’s soft manners and pace of the tour.

While the afternoon at Graceland Cemetery was not helped by the 90 degrees+ temps - sadly our tour guide was lacking in his overall knowledge and led most of the tour reading content from his cell phone. It was hard for him to field questions that were not in his script. Nice guy and I suggest he do more homework before conducting rather pricey tours.

This was a great tour. Ronnie gave us a lot of interesting information, presented in an entertaining way. Who knew brownies were invented in Chicago? This is a fantastic, fun introduction to the beauty of Graceland cemetery. Highly recommend, thanks Ronnie!

I enjoyed the walking tour of Graceland Cemetery led by Ronnie Frey. It was evident that Ronnie had both passion and knowledge of the subject. It was fascinating to learn the history of many of the wealthy Chicagoans who contributed to the formation of our beloved Chicago! I recommend this 90-minute tour of the markers and graves at the historic Graceland Cemetary!

This was a great tour. I learned a lot, and it was amazingly tranquil and beautiful. I highly recommend it. My teenage daughter and husband also had a wonderful time. Thanks, Ronnie!

Excellent tour. Ronnie is very knowledgeable but manages to keep the tour entertaining as well. I was never bored! He took us to many of the nooks and crannies that I would never have found.

I had such a wonderful time. Graceland Cemetery is beautiful. Our tour guide Ronnie Frey from Doorways of Chicago was very informative. I definitely recommend this tour.
