I'm Sylvie S., your private tour guide in Chicago
Guide #47885
Hello! I can't wait to share my deep love of Chicago with you. An actor, photographer, and history buff who has called Chicago home all of my adult life, I revel in sharing stories about the windy city -- and about the people who built it, made it their home, and left an indelible mark on it. Chicago has it all: a stunning skyline, an incredible shoreline, a vibrant art scene, a bustling theater and film community, and restaurants celebrating food from all corners of the world. Chicago is home to 77 (soon to 78) communities, all with distinct personalities and traits. We can't possibly visit them all at once, so I hope you come back and explore some more! Join me in the "city of big shoulders" for a visit filled with history, anecdotes, and beauty. All my tours can be customized upon request. I gave my first tours in my twenties, to French tourists visiting the U.S for the first time. The joy of sharing history, architecture, and cultural highlights is the same today as it was then. For the safety of all visitors, please do not travel sick, and wear a mask when in doubt. I of course will do the same. Thank you so much!

Our group of 6 was in town for a conference. We met Sylvie on a Saturday morning and thoroughly enjoyed walking through Pilsen and learning about the history of the neighborhood as well as the mural artists and their work. Sylvie has a way of telling stories while she presents information so the tour went by without even realizing it had been two hours! We loved Pilsen...

La visite de Chicago était notre 1ere expérience avec un guide. Et ça a été une découverte incroyable, une révélation. Sylvie ne s'est pas contenté de nous parler de la période "Al Capone". Elle nous a décrit l'histoire entière de Chicago, l'architecture de cette ville. Elle était passionnante car passionnée. Et nous n'avons pas vu les 4 heures passer. Un très grand merci...

Oh, Aude, merci beaucoup! Vous quatre ont été un rêve: curieux, chaleureux, sympas, ouverts à entendre plein d'histoires et d'anecdotes. Cela a été un plaisir de passer un après-midi avec vous. Revenez nous voir, et dites à vos amis de visiter Chicago! Merci encore!

Sylvie is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We were thoroughly engaged throughout the tour and enjoyed it enormously. She is also easy to work with and was able to change the date of our tour when we asked. Thank you!
