Welcome to Chicago, friends! I absolutely love showing off everything beautiful, fun and exciting in my home city. I'm a life-long Chicagoan and have been a professional guide since 2017 working for over 5 different tour companies. I give walking architecture tours, food tours, ghost tours, boat tours and tours through some of our amazing museums! I have degrees in Theater and Psychology, and after college I trained at many of the comedy theaters throughout Chicago, including Second City. I currently perform in improv shows at two theaters and coach a college team, so I would love to take you out to see some comedy in this city! Chicago has spectacular views, stunning architecture and many hidden treasures that I can show you. Throughout my tours I'll recite intriguing stories, enlightening you about Chicago's compelling history. I point out all of the best places to eat while I recommend the most fun attractions and must-sees for your trip. I'm great at tailoring my tours to my guests' interests, even on the spot as we chat and can't wait to show you everything Chicago has to offer! I am a seasoned performer with a Theater degree from Loyola University Chicago so I know how to entertain you on my tours. I have been a member of the Chicago Tour Guide Professional Association since 2019. Most of my tours do not have restrictions. I have a private vehicle that I use for tours, but if its a larger group I may rent a more comfortable vehicle.

    We changed to the downtown Chicago highlights tour. Colleen was great. We walked and talked and checked out a few places to rest. She was very knowledgeable and always had a smile on her face. She knew when this crowd needed a rest but made sure we saw as much as possible!!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our experience was enhanced by Colleen's narrative. She had obviously researched the art and artists, giving us interesting information that we never would've known. Other patrons often stopped to listen, because she was engaging and knowledgeable. We toured the institute in an efficient yet meaningful manner. Thank you for a wonderful...
