    I can't recommend Nick highly enough. It was like visiting a great friend who takes you on a walking tour of his neighborhood. My husband and I went with four early 20s kids. We had such a great time. Nick knows the neighborhood like the back of his hand. He gave us a lot of history of the area, but also pointed out great spots we should head back to for shopping and eating, which we did. We had never been to this part of Chicago before, and we had such a great time with Nick. Definitely book this tour!

    Nick was very fun and knowledgeable. He showed us historic buildings, beautiful old homes, parks, and bars. He shared fun facts and some darker important history, along with currents neighborhood happenings. I would highly recommend Nick!
