Chicago by the Lake - Full Day Tour with Boat Ride

Chicago is by all accounts a city with loads of energy, and as a guide it has been very rewarding to see how people from other latitudes are in awe when they learn or discover something new about it, even if they have been to Chicago before. I always enjoy showing and describing the fantastic architecture and history this city has to offer. It also presents a wide variety of entertainment and cultural activities throughout the entire year. On this sightseeing tour, you will hear about the incredible city transformation I have witnessed during the 39 years Chicago has been my home, and how I have grown alongside it. Together we will explore city landmarks, waterways and green spaces that will make you want to keep coming back to visit.
