This was a very well designed tour. Our guide Elizabeth was excellent. She provided interesting historical information about the 1893 World's Fair and enhanced the experience with audio and visual aids as well as games. A difficult tour to design due to the lack of remaining buildings from the era, but the architecture from the time created a great backdrop for the fascinating stories and information about the "White City". A great tour to take you back in time in Chicago!

My family, a group of 9, consisting in ages of 15 to 60, had a great time on this tour. Elizabeth our guide was super knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about this tour. We all had fun, even my 15 year old, on the scavenger hunts she planned and learned a lot about the history of Chicago during the 1893 World's Fair. We enjoyed our stop at the Berghoff to sample a flight of beers and eat a sampling of food that was popular at the fair. We would all recommend this tour.
