This was a great tour. Ronnie gave us a lot of interesting information, presented in an entertaining way. Who knew brownies were invented in Chicago? This is a fantastic, fun introduction to the beauty of Graceland cemetery. Highly recommend, thanks Ronnie!

Ronnie is an amazing and engaging tour guide, I had a wonderful time learning about the historical Fine Arts Building. I enjoy interior design, and he lead a tour that was fun and educational. And his love for Chicago comes through in his tour, which made it even more special. Would certainly recommend!

I enjoyed the walking tour of Graceland Cemetery led by Ronnie Frey. It was evident that Ronnie had both passion and knowledge of the subject. It was fascinating to learn the history of many of the wealthy Chicagoans who contributed to the formation of our beloved Chicago! I recommend this 90-minute tour of the markers and graves at the historic Graceland Cemetary!

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.

Excellent tour! I would highly recommend this tour and the guide. It was very informative and made for a great afternoon walk around Wicker Park!

Learned so much and saw very cool houses in Ravenswood Manor! Would highly recommend as it was a great way to learn about a new neighborhood in the city!

This is the 3rd tour of different Chicago areas I have done with Ronnie Frey of Doorways of Chicago. He is always fun, knowledgeable, organized, and willing to share details. He keeps his tour participants to an ideal number, so it’s easy to hear and follow. His use of the Atlas ap allows participants to see more details about the buildings and architects on his tours.

This was a great tour. I learned a lot, and it was amazingly tranquil and beautiful. I highly recommend it. My teenage daughter and husband also had a wonderful time. Thanks, Ronnie!

Excellent tour. Ronnie is very knowledgeable but manages to keep the tour entertaining as well. I was never bored! He took us to many of the nooks and crannies that I would never have found.

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.

It was a very informative and interesting tour of Wicker Park historic cottages and mansions with Ronnie Frey. He has not only curated this so well, but enlivened it with little stories which he’s gleaned having spoken to some of the owners themselves. He is so knowledgeable about each houses’ architectural style that by the end of the tour we knew what an Italianate vs Second empire style was!

Ronnie was terrific! He was very knowledgeable about art deco, and passionate about all of the cool details in each building. We will definitely book another tour from Doorways! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ronnie Frey is a splendid tour guide! His space in The Fine Arts Building is spectacular. He has a beautiful view of The Board of Trade and Willis Tower. What a wonderful tour of this marvelous building. Ronnie is SO knowledgeable and has an infectious personality and laugh! You will not be disappointed in any of his tours....I've been on many and I always learn something new in his narrative. Take one of Ronnie's tours!!!!!

This was a great way to spend a few hours walking in Wicker Park. Ronnie is a friendly and engaging guide. He has deep knowledge of architecture with his education and career background. I learned so much about the design of homes and Chicago history. It was also great to use the eATLAS tour companion to see the old photos and media elements.

The route chosen was so full of breath-taking finds! The tour guide was super knowledgeable and personable. This was fun for me as someone who is fairly familiar with Chicago history.
