Wow....What a smart guy!!! My friends and I loved our time spent with Colm. He met us promptly at our hotel and deposited us directly at the restaurant (he recommended) 3 hours later. Colm was able to tell stories that brought much of what we saw to life. (Ask him about seeing Obama arrive for jury duty). He was also able to hold the attention of 3 very enthusiastic and chatty women! Colm was easy to reach so we could confirm details about our trip and adjusted our tour to US! Thanks Colm!!! Wonderful walk around the loop with Colm!

I made a special request tour of Chicagoland with Colm to show us around town and neighborhoods and it was a must-do experience!! Will be relocating my newly graduated kid to Chicago (23 yrs old) and needed a crash course in neighborhoods,CTA transit, demographics, living in Chicago, orienteering and advise. Colm has it all!! He met us at my hotel, and we started the day at State and Madison - which is the "zero point" address for the city and for navigating Chicago overall. All public transportation for entire 5 hour tour. Embarked to several neighborhoods and walked around to get the vibes. Wrigleyville, Southport, Lincoln Park, Old Town, River North and Wicker Park...That's 7 neighborhoods people!! Colm has extensive knowledge and fun facts for every stop. Had a super informative and totally fun day. When time permits - will be seeking more tours with Colm. Newcomers Must-Do City Neighboorhood Tour

I highly, highly recommend Colm for a tour. He’s very informative with lots of great details and knowledge about the paintings, the museum and city as well. I have been to the Art Institute many times. This time, my friend who has an MFA in painting, was in town so I wanted an expert to show us around. Colm’a tour was really a special few hours. He knows the museum so well and we saw staggering number of famous works this museum has. It was the highlight of my friend’s visit and a huge highlight for me as well. I highly recommend. Great tour!
