Welcome to Chicago, friends! I absolutely love showing off everything beautiful, fun and exciting in my home city. I'm a life-long Chicagoan and have been a professional guide since 2017 working for over 5 different tour companies. I give walking architecture tours, food tours, ghost tours, boat tours and tours through some of our amazing museums! I have degrees in Theater and Psychology, and after college I trained at many of the comedy theaters throughout Chicago, including Second City. I currently perform in improv shows at two theaters and coach a college team, so I would love to take you out to see some comedy in this city! Chicago has spectacular views, stunning architecture and many hidden treasures that I can show you. Throughout my tours I'll recite intriguing stories, enlightening you about Chicago's compelling history. I point out all of the best places to eat while I recommend the most fun attractions and must-sees for your trip. I'm great at tailoring my tours to my guests' interests, even on the spot as we chat and can't wait to show you everything Chicago has to offer! I am a seasoned performer with a Theater degree from Loyola University Chicago so I know how to entertain you on my tours. I have been a member of the Chicago Tour Guide Professional Association since 2019. Most of my tours do not have restrictions. I have a private vehicle that I use for tours, but if its a larger group I may rent a more comfortable vehicle.

Explore Chicago's stunning skyline on a private boat experience
Overview of your Chicago tour
Chicago shows off gorgeous, world-renowned architecture and spectacular views along the mighty Chicago River! Everyone should take an architecture river tour and now you can have one catered to your group and avoid the crowds and overpriced drinks of the group boats. I'll enlighten you with the history of how we reversed the flow of the our river as we ride into the skyline. You'll experience Chicago's urban beauty while feeling like you are a part of nature. With your own personal boat, we can spend more time in your favorite areas and make sure we get the perfect angles for your pictures. I will point out every cool building and unique sculpture along the way. Experience a more private and relaxed boat tour experience with a local guide on a crowd-free boat for a personalized tour of Chicago's downtown sights.
