I bought 2 of these tours for my architect husband for his 60th birthday and we both LOVED them! Hillary is a wealth of information and took us into amazing spaces that one doesn’t know to go visit. A great way to celebrate Christmas in Chicago (and architects’ birthdays).

The total walking length was 2 miles but we only saw about 4 or 5 actual holiday decorations. For the price I would have thought we would see more

Cheryl_M

Fantastic! So much fun! Saw trees we would haven’t thought of. Learned so much about the history of Christmas and the city of Chicago. Well worth it! A must do!

This was an absolutely AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Hillary planned a custom engagement Chicago Christmas Tour. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the city and it's history, and her outgoing enthusiasm and presentation of everything kept me and my now fiancee captivated and engaged the entire time. We were lucky to have Hillary and would recommend this tour to anyone!

I did the virtual tour. Hillary is a fantastic, engaging speaker. Her photos of Chicago are excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire sixty minutes and look forward to attending an in-person tour when in Chicago. She brought in her family's traditions, which made this more than just a history lesson. I lived in the Chicago area for five years. I became fascinated by the city and its history and am an "amateur historian." Although I knew many of the facts she discussed, I learned much.

I just completed the virtual Christmas Tree Crawl Experience in Chicago! It was marvelous! Hillary Marzec was very informative, entertaining and endearing with her stories of Christmas. She even shared her family with us. Based on the virtual tour, I am determined to be in Chicago for a few days next year to enjoy all the city has to offer. A big "thank you" to Hillary; I hope to meet you in person in 2022!

Just a wonderful presentation, great memories and facts, simply an entertaining and learning experience. And after the last year or so, it knocked some of the Grinch out of me. Hillary does a terrific job. I highly recommend one of her tours.

This was a virtual tour online. It was wonderfully led by Hillary Marzec, a warm, engaging, and very knowledgeable tour guide. I grew up in Chicago and I had high expectations. Her virtual Christmas tour did not disappoint plus I learned many things I did not know, like the fact that the wildly popular Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was the creation of the Montgomery Wards Department Store in Chicago! I don't think Hillary missed a thing. The time flew by. Highly recommend if you are going to Chicago and want ideas of things to see this time of year, and -- when Covid is finally over -- a real tour, which we hope to do in a few months when we visit the city.

Attended a virtual Christmas tour, talking about Chicago Christmas traditions. Hillary is very knowledgeable yet conversational in her presentation. Looking forward to an opportunity to participate in one of the tours on person.
