I took a solo Polish heritage tour in Chicago with Joanna, and it was a wonderful experience. I have a disability, so I messaged Joanna early on—even before booking—to let her know about my limitations, what I could and couldn't do, and what I needed help with. She was incredibly understanding, patient, and totally willing to adjust the pace for me. It made me feel really comfortable the whole day. Joanna is a great guide and a fantastic driver. Her parallel parking to fit into tight city spaces is impeccable! I loved learning about the historic "sunken" houses. It was amazing to hear how they lifted those heavy houses up with jack screws back then, and how homeowners had the choice to either raise them to the new street level or leave them to become basement houses. Seeing the ones left below the ground today was incredible. Another highlight was visiting St. Stanislaus Kostka Church. It was so peaceful inside, and Joanna told me the story of how the community saved it from being torn down for the expressway. Afterward, she recommended I try the deep dish at Pequod's Pizza, which was excellent. Joanna’s deep knowledge and warmth made this a truly special tour. I highly recommend booking with her!
