Dave was AMAZING during our Chinatown tour. Everything was taken care of, it was so easy, and he was so knowledge about both the food, customs, and history of the neighborhood. A great mix of experiences in one tour.

Downtown Chicago is home to some of the most stunning buildings in the world. Ever since it was reborn after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Second City has been at the center of architectural innovation. After all, we invented the skyscraper! Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis B Sullivan, Mies Van de Rohe, Daniel Burnham, and Jeanne Gang all made their mark here.
