Fantastic Tour! A fantastic tour! Listening to Ronnie's knowledge, passion and love for the city and its architecture was so wonderful and informative-the time flew by. I can hardly wait until I can go on another one!

Finding hidden gems and secret stories in River North This was our third Doorways tour and we were excited to be part of the inaugural Retro River North tour. We enjoyed a number of interesting neon signs and the history behind them, along with a series of unique architectural highlights that were complemented by the eAtlas app that gave a glimpse of some interiors. Much like Ronnie’s other tours there are always hidden gems, stories and places to go back to visit on your own or with friends. And always a highlight is the other people you meet on the tour who share their own experiences either about Chicago or their hometowns. Next up is the Art Deco Loop tour!

An inspirational experience. I had one of the most amazing tours I’ve ever had in the city of Chicago. Retro River North Tour by Ronny Frey was fun, informative, and inspirational. Ronnie was very knowledgeable of the architect, history of these buildings and signs. He had wonderful personal stories he shared that was inspiring and brought a delightful element to the tour. I am a fan of Doorways of Chicago and a fan of Ronnie’s tours. I’m excited to see and hear more from Ronnie and Doorways of Chicago. A Must!

Get your steps in while learning something new What a truly delightful way to spend an afternoon in Chicago, rain or shine. Ronnie’s knowledge and passion for all things Chicago history, art, architecture and design made his tour engaging, fascinating and amusing. I’ve lived in Chicago for over twenty years. I’ve never given the neighborhood of Old Town too much thought. I left the tour with a deep appreciation of its beauty and history. I’m looking forward to walking around with Ronnie on more of his tours.

Amazing Gem of a Tour Ronnie was such an amazing tour guide! I've lived in Chicago most of my life and it was such a treat to learn about this part of the city that is literally right outside our back door! Ronnie's knowledge and enthusiasm for the tour made it a genuine delight! What was extra special was Ronnie's architectural background and learning about the various structures we were looking at as well. The Tour was not just a Tour of Doors, it was a combination history tour, architectural tour, and walking tour with new and unknown info presented in a very unique and refreshing way. I would highly recommend this tour and look forward to going on future tours of Ronnie's.

Wow. What an eye opener I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Ronnie's knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour very engaging. I have lived in Chicago my whole life and had not discovered Old Town until this tour. What a gem of a neighborhood.

Excellent tour A must-tour for Chicago visitors and locals alike. You will see Chicago Oldtown as never before, with wonderful historical details, architectural commentary, and engaging stories. Ronnie is a super guide! Can't wait to go on another tour with him!

WONDERFUL TOUR fantastic tour. so insightful and learned soooo much. highly recommend. I knew nothing of these particular set of cottages hidden in old town.

Amazing Architecture Tour by Runnie It was an awesome tour by one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I learned a lot about the architecture in Chicago. My highlight were the workers cottages. All the different designs you can experience in Chicago is amazing and it's very impressive that almost behind every building is a great story. These were explained very passionate by a our guide.Another highlight was also that we were allowed to step into a very old building that is owned by a friend of the guy.
