Reviews
My husband and I participated in two tours—one concentrated on the history of downtown architecture, culminating at an art museum with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. The second tour explored further along the river, introducing us to new areas. Both guides were knowledgeable and shared extensive information about downtown and its history.
