Come explore a fabulous city with a native and life-long Chicagoan. I offer many unique, off-the-beaten-path tours and can also customize your very own personal walking tour. All my routes can be seen by car as well. I am a Certified Tour Guide & member of the Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association and a former docent with the Chicago Architecture Foundation for 5 years. I would love to share my passion and knowledge of this great city with you in a fun and non-traditional way. Please take a look at my routes and see if there is anything that piques your interest. Great for singles, couples & families on vacation, here for business or checking out the city before college. Let the urban adventures begin! I am a native Chicagoan and I am still here because what's not to love! I am a Certified Tour Guide (CTG) & member of the Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association.
