About me
I was born and raised in the great city of Chicago and love my city! I love to travel and get a locals perspective on the places I visit rather than taking the typical touristy route everywhere. I usually want to see touristy sites, but I'm more interested in how locals live, especially when it comes to food!
My Offer
I have lived in Chicago all my life and am very proud of my home city. I love talking about the history of Chicago, eating the wide variety of quality food we have and exploring different neighborhoods with tourists who would like to see more than Michigan Avenue, sears tower and Navy Pier. There's so much more to see! Have a great time in Chicago! Go Cubs

Our host was so informative by Foster

We hung out together and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our host was so informative and knew exactly what he was talking about, while keeping it fun and enjoyable! Would highly recommend anyone.

Lot of amazing sites by Alex

The experience was great and the guide seems to know everything about the city. We saw a lot of amazing sites. There is a lot of history in this city.

The host was knowledgeable and friendly by Samantha

The host was knowledgeable and friendly. Interesting! This is the perfect thing to do if you only have 1 day in the city but it's even better to do if you have more than one day because it gives you a way to "preview" things, so you know what you want to go back to.
