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.

    Johanna is outstanding! She is a delightful guide and so knowledgeable about the city and its hidden gems. She made our time in the city stress free and fun, we hope to see her again on another trip to Chicago.

    She was very flexible and easy to work with. We are a motor coach of retirees and needed someone to hop on our coach. She was willing to meet us in Joliet and take us through Chicago and get us to our dinner in time. What a treat it was to meet Johanna and have her show us around. She interacted so nicely with us old folks. What a delight. Thank you.

    Johanna was fantastic! She understood us and what we would value. We felt as if we were spending the day with a wonderful long time friend. She is knowlegeble, intuitive and took great care of us. When we return to Chicago we will look to work with her again for a more specific tour. Chicago has so much to offer as does Johanna.
