I've lived in Chicago for years and it was like I saw a whole new world!

The neighborhoods we biked through felt like undiscovered hideaways, and I learned a lot of random information. Our guide was great, this was definitely worth the cost and was really fun!

I felt like a tourist in my own city!!

I did the Presidential Tour of Hyde Park with a fabulous Vincent. I have never encountered someone who is so passionate and enthusiastic about his job. He is very knowledgeable about Hyde Park and takes you on an amazing tour showing you everything Hyde Park has to offer. He took us to the Osaka Japanese Garden which I had never heard of and I have lived in Chicago my whole life. I highly recommend taking this trip and discovering Hyde Park with Vincent..you will not be disappointed. My friends and I are still talking about what a great time we had.

This event was a treat!

Having wonderful weather was certainly a plus, but additionally, our tour guide was knowledgeable and very nice, and he provided us with a great time. I would highly recommend this activity. It surpassed my expectations.

This is a great event and our tour guide, Ezra was amazing and very knowledgeable.

We learned a lot about Obama's routes and other unexpected historical building facts, timelines, and architectural designs from neo-gothic to Frank Lloyd Wright... I would highly recommend this tour :
