I'm Alicia D., your private tour guide in Chicago

Guide #41608

I was born and raised on the westside of Chicago a bit over 50 years ago. I am the mother of three and the grandmother of five beautiful people. I enjoy outdoor activities with the grandkids, learning new things, Evangelizing , river boat cruises and traveling. Before I began conducting tours throughout the city, I worked many jobs not understanding why I was not happy , there was no fulfillment of joy. It wasn't until 2005 when my life changed. Understanding that I needed a job that fits my personality. Showcasing the city that I love, learning how much each of the 77 communities connects Chicago as a whole. The richness of this city has to be told. " The city of bright lights - The city of broad shoulders - The windy city ". Join me as I travel to "Bronzeville" one of the most famous black communities in the USA. This neighborhood was once compared to the Harlem renaissance. Each community has amazing food. Hop-on and Hop-off for homemade ice-cream and peach cobbler, Chicago style hotdogs, deep dish pizza and so much more. See you soon. I began training as a city tour guide in 2005. I have been conducting tours for 19 years. I am not able to give tours in any language other than English.

    Alicia D was a wonderful insightful guide during the tour. We only wish we could have planned another tour with her, but it was our last day in Chicago. We have learned so much about the amazing individuals and historical sites throughout the tour.. I will treasure this tour: Bronzeville for the rest of my life. I will also tell the rest of my relatives and friends...

    The tour was fantastic. Alicia is a pro. She is so personable and knowledgeable. We walked away having had a great time while learning so much about Bronzeville past and present. We will call on Alicia again when we can do another Chicago tour.
