Ended up being the only family on it, so it was basically a private tour! Had a great time with our guide Mike, who had a lot of knowledge of and love for Chicago.

Very personable tour guide. We did not feel rushed. Lance also gave us extra history of the Loop and we walked inside some historic buildings which was great since it was so frigid outside and kept us from getting too cold between stops.
