Tony our tour guide was fantastic! So knowledgeable. I would maybe bill this as more of a history tour with The Devil in the White City elements included. Still, I would definitely do this again. Also there was a little more walking involved than we were lead to believe. Not a problem for us but useful to know if you have mobility limitations. Also our particular bus did not have a washroom and there was no stop for same. I would definitely recommend this tour.
We had a great time...
