5.00Andre, was great! Stories were fun and entertaining. Very knowledgeable about Chicago too! Definitely recommend. Only suggestion is increase the volume for Andre somehow. The city is loud at times with the train passing by especially, and it can be hard to hear him. With that said it was maybe 10% of the time it was an issue. Still 5 stars!
