Guide #42560
Greetings from Chicago! My name is Colm and I'd love to show you around my favorite city! I am a certified tour guide and enjoy meeting new people who wish to share my passion for Chicago's architecture and history. I have lived in Chicago for most of my adult life although I originally hale from Dublin, Ireland, so I know how to tell a story! I empathize with travelers because I'm a keen traveler myself and always hire a guide in a foreign place to discover its secrets, learn its history, and hopefully be entertained! In turn, I pride myself on revealing the real Chicago, avoiding some of the crowded tourist traps and offering a way to get to know the city's famous places more intimately. Feel free to ask me for recommendations for Chicago's best museums, attractions and dining. Always happy to take pictures and videos of my guests on all my tours. All tours are customizable so if you would like me to combine 2 tours, add a trip to the Art Institute, or extend a tour please feel free to reach out to me. I can provide: - Private tours - Historical & Heritage Tours - Sightseeing Tours - Day Trips/Out of Town - Cultural Tours I'm a fun and friendly guide and I especially like to show people around who've never been to Chicago before, to be able to see the city anew through their eyes. I very much look forward to meeting you and showing you around! Certified Member of Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Feel free to reach out at any time if you need any suggestions for things to do during the rest of your stay in Chicago. Safe travels and Happy New Year!
Colm was a fantastic guide. He communicated well leading up to the tour. He was flexible as he met me at my hotel and the tour was great. We even went off the "tour plan" and saw some really cool stuff like inside the Chicago Athletic Club - which as super cool. Thanks for a great tour :)
