What a great way to tour Chicago for the first time !

Published on Nov, 2024

Steve was prompt picking us up @ our hotel. He then covered history of the areas we visited in a relaxed, informative manner. We were encouraged to notify him when and if we wanted to stop and take pictures. Also, we were so impressed with this gentleman that we agreed to have him drive us to the airport several days later.

Best guide ever!

Steve is the perfect tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, plus he’s respectful and polite. I could relax and soak in Chicago in comfort knowing I was in great hands. Plus. I love his long sunroof allowing an enhanced view of everything.

Wonderful personal tour of Chicago as a city

Published on Apr, 2024

Steve took us through neighborhoods from downtown through the extensive South side and up into the North side, always with great running commentary on the history, people, and places in each neighborhood. Thus was exactly what we hoped for. It was even better than expected -because Steve lives and works in Chicago he was able to share personal experiences that made the tour even better. We had a wonderful time!

If you want to see Chicago beyond the Bean, River Walk and Lake do take this Southside tour!!

Published on Jan, 2024

We had been in Chicago for a couple of months and had done all the usual sights. We had a few days remaining and felt there was a big area south we hadn't explored at all. Enter Steve ..... what he doesn't know about the Southside is just not worth knowing. I had no idea just how many famous people were born or spent time in South Chicago. It was such an informative excursion; he drove us all the way down to the Indiana border with a really interesting commentary, identifying all the different neighbourhoods and how they came about. There were lots of stops to take pictures and a nice break in a local coffee shop. I urge you to take this trip which really gave us a much better understanding of the whole of Chicago. Oh.... and those famous people's homes you can see, past and present.... Muddy Waters, Johnny Mathis, the Marx Brothers, Pops Staples, Kanye West, Muhammad Ali, President Obama! Fantastic. Thank you, Steve. We will always remember the three reasons folk from the South travelled to Chicago... JOBS, JOBS AND JOBS!!

Highly recommend tour of Chicago with the Best tour guide!!

Published on Oct, 2023

Steve is Awesome. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Chicago! Steve has a great sense of humor and makes the tour fun. He took us to popular places as well as places we would have never been able to visit if we hadn’t gone on this tour! There are so many neighborhoods in Chicago and Steve knows them all. I highly recommend taking this tour. He will also pick you up from the airport and take you back for less than an Uber.
