Great book tour! Highly recommended. My family did the late tour to see the city both during the day and at night. We learned alot and saw the city from a different view. Chicago is more than mainstream news.

We were on the 2:45pm cruise from N Michigan on Sat, 8/26/23. I don't remember his name; but our tour guide was terrific! He shared just a touch of his own life, he was amazingly knowledgeable, he was funny, he was generous with his knowledge and his personality. With his help, we were looking-at and photographing history rather than buildings. Our tour guide made the cruise illuminating and fun.

Evan was incredible and very knowledgeable! We really enjoyed the experience. Would recommend to friends.

The view was amazing. My wife and I had a good time learning Chicago's history. Fun fact- Chicago meaning is smelly onion haha. I'm sure the tour guide will explain. Have fun. Cheers!
