What Makes Us Different
- We keep our group size small (2-10 people) for regular tours
- Prairie District, Pilsen and Chinatown tours can accommodate larger groups (11-20 people)
- We visit more neighborhoods than other companies because we use the L as our primary mode of transportation
- We walk to historic sites and local establishments that are located close to L stations
- We keep it interesting and fun! We'll tell you good stories but we won't overload you with long lectures and memorized facts
- We include everything in the cost of your ticket (food, beverage, transportation)
