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!
