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.

Join me on an unexplored combination of movie highlights and architecture of Chicago on this express tour.
Overview of your Chicago tour
What do the Art Institute of Chicago, Lake Shore Drive, Dearborn Street & the Chicago River have in common? They are the iconic Chicago scenes featured in the pop culture John Hughes film Ferris Bueller's Day Off! A fun way to see & learn about the many styles of architecture (classic Beaux-Arts, Chicago School to Art Deco, International Style) and world-class public art (Tiffany stained glass, Calder, Chagall & Picasso) Along the way, I will point out where the memorable movie scenes took place. Let the urban adventure begin!
