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. Chicagoans love sports, too! Chicago is home to 77 (soon to 78) communities, all with distinct personalities and traits. We can't possibly visit them all at once, but I can certainly entice you so 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. While you see more than a dozen "set" tours -- also customizable -- , I have developed more than 70 entirely personalized tours for various individuals, couples, or groups, small and large. Just let me know what you are looking for, and I'll create a tour for you!

    We just love Sylvie. We’ve had tours by her before. She’s knowledgeable and fun. She recommended a few places lunch, and her recommendation was perfect. We will use her again.

    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...

    Thank you so much. You six were wonderful! I so enjoyed spending those two hours with you, and indeed, it went too fast. Thanks again.
