You can not got wrong with Bob! He has a wealth of knowledge and a super personality. We saw more than we could have imagined during our tour without being rushed. It seems like he knows every important person and building in the city. Plus he brings the energy. It exceeded my family's expecations.
Bob is excellent! He is very knowledgeable and made Chicago come to life in a much more interesting and entertaining way. We highly recommend Bob to anyone who wants to know more about his great city.
Bob was very knowledgeable, He knew a lot about the architecture and historical facts about some of the old buildings, He took us on an inside tour of the Chicago cultural center. (The details in the architecture ere amazing!). He answered our questions. We enjoyed the tour .we appreciated his promptness at the pick up site and he was flexible with his itinerary.
If you want an artist’s view of Chicago, Bob is the guide for you! I As we drove through the city he described the neighborhoods. He has incredible knowledge about the history and architecture of Chicago. It was real advantage to have a tour guide who grew up in the town, and knew all the special places that most tour guides wouldn’t bring you to. Bob is also an artist well known in Chicago, and it was truly interesting to hear his thoughts about the art in some of the places we visited. Thank you, Bob!
What a wonderful day we had! Bob K. was the best guide we've ever encountered! I really love Chicago now that we had the pleasure of seeing it through his eyes! He made it so interesting and fun! I loved how excited he still gets showing off the gorgeous architecture of his city! Wow! Loved every minute we spent with him and felt so lucky we picked him to show us the city he grew up in!
Bob is extremely knowledgeable about art. He showed us all the spots of the beautiful murals in the Mexican neighborhood. We also saw the impressive Chicago university and other sites. He has a very kind attitude and we have had a wonderful day out with him. Thank you very much
