Hi, my name is Johanna. I was born in the U. S. to Polish immigrants, and they've been flying me back and forth to the motherland since I was barely out of diapers. That ingrained a strong wanderlust in me that has never gone away. I've globe-trotted all around and met countless amazing people during my travels. Allow me to help make your memories as awesome as mine have been. I've lived in Chicago for 28 years, so it's safe to say that I am a Chicago native, and I know a thing or two about this city I call home. My interests are many, as are my jobs. I teach Polish folk dancing, cater pierogi, work at a brewery, participate in a yearly lowrider show and of course, work as a tour guide. . . the list goes on. I also love music, dance and enjoy a great meal (who doesn't). That being said, I can customize a tour that'll satisfy and entertain any type of individual. Let's go to breweries, dance to swing music, visit unique architectural sites, learn a little about Chicago history, and try out some amazing local restaurants as well as local fast food joints (Chicago-style hot dog or deep dish pizza, anyone?). Now, let's have some fun and explore! I have worked as a private guide in Chicago for five years. Although I mostly work with smaller groups, I can accommodate larger groups. If you are interested in booking for a larger group, I can meet you and guide you in your vehicle.

Overview of your Chicago tour

This tour will cover Chicago's craft beer history as well as Chicago's current craft beer boom. After a brief history lesson, we will check out several of my favorite craft breweries and sample their beers There are over 60 microbreweries, nano breweries, and brewpubs to pick from. Several of my friends run these establishments, and we'll get to go visit them. You'll get a chance to chat with some of the brewers.

Your Chicago tour itinerary

Once we learn a little about our beer history, I'll take you to several of my favorite breweries including: - MARZ Community Brewing - Illuminated Brew Works - Goose Island - and others The tour will wrap up in Hyde Park where the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 fairgrounds once stood. It is relevant historically as beer and the brewer's arts and technology were featured in the Agricultural Building. Two independent Chicago brewers were represented during the fair, and they both won awards for their brews. I can customize the breweries on our itinerary to suit your interests!
