  We did the loop architecture tour. I must admit, I know nothing about architecture but thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history involved in the buildings. We walked through several buildings and learned about the pedway system that is underground. Surprisingly, many locals do not know of this walking system! Amanda also gave us a map to navigate the pedway on our own. This tour left me wanting more! Two things to note though: we were late because we didn't see we meet at a location different from the office. Also, the website isn't too mobile friendly so I'd recommend checking it out on a desktop prior to booking.

  We had a party of 10 people and we called about a walking pub tour and the owner of the company got right back to us and arranged a fantastic tour for us that very same evening. We had a blast! The wine was first rate and the food was delicious and fun! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the architecture and history of Chicago and she was able to communicate in an entertaining way. We had two 18 yr olds, two 21 yr olds and the rest of us baby boomers and we all enjoyed the tour and our tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour, we loved it and out tour guide!

  I've lived in Chicago for 13 years, but had a friend visiting and decided to do the tour with them, and glad I did. This tour was a trifecta, I got to see the city, learn things about the architecture and the past, plus taste food and drink while doing it. It was amazing to learn some really unique facts about places I've passes 100 times and never knew their past. Super interesting and fun tour. I highly recommend.

  I took the 1893 Chicago World's Fair Tour with Elizabeth. It was a blast! The tour was dynamic, interactive, and highly informative. I was shocked by how far reaching the impact of the 1893 World's Fair was and how it continues to shape our lives today. Our guide, Elizabeth, was insightful and entertaining. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested in World's Fair lore, architectural history of Chicago, or really anyone looking to have fun while learning.

  I did the Loop Architecture and Pedway tour with Alex as our tour guide. Alex's knowledge of the city was extensive. I was primarily impressed with the tour structure. I never felt like we were just walking from spot to spot listening to a guide rattling off names and dates. The 2 hours went by entertainingly fast as we stopped at unexpected places and looked at architecture, watched videos, looked at pictures, played fun trivia games and heard "behind the scenes" stories. The Pedway map is a great bonus for a Chicagoan like me or for a visitor. I would recommend this tour to people visiting Chicago, but also to locals.
