Hidden Wicker Park! - Very enjoyable - who knew about these homes? Thorough but not overly technical descriptions. Looking forward to doing other of his tours! Perfect!

Being a tourist in your neighborhood - We had a great time on our tour and learned a lot about the history of the homes we’re constantly admiring. It’s fun to be a tourist in your own neighborhood. We’ll be back!

Super fun tour! - I’ve taken several tours in Chicago and this is one of my favorites. The cottages themselves were very interesting to see, and our host provided us with great historical tidbits and the context of each house, which makes the whole experience full and rich. Thanks, Ronnie!

The best tour guide in the city isR! - Ronnie was awesome he's extremely passionate and knowledgeable about architecture and it showed by his passion and his information he was able to share on the tour. The tour uses an application called Atlas which is really nice because it has all the stops on it with photographs and other information about the properties that you're viewing on the trip.

I learned a lot and enjoyed the morning. - Ronnie is an entertaining and informative docent. This was an architectural tour made more meaningful because he put it all in an historical and social context. The growth of the city and the evolution of neighborhoods was an important factor in the architecture we saw on the tour, and Ronnie helped us to understand that. I took lots of pictures, even though trees and gardens obscured some of the architecture. I might go back in the winter when there are no leaves on the trees and use eAtlas to rewalk the tour route.

Highly recommend this tour! - Fantastic tour with Ronnie! I’ve lived in Chicago for over 2 years and seen these homes dozens of times but never knew how special they are until Ronnie’s tour. He’s clearly passionate about discovering the beautiful details in the architecture and ties in the historical context wonderfully.
