I am the Owner of Wild Onion Walks Chicago, which peels back the layers of the city, to get at the heart of what makes Chicago great! Born and raised in the Andersonville neighborhood on Chicago's north side, I have a passionate love for all things Chicago! As a professional guide, I make sure that my guests have gotten more than just a highlights tour. We explore the city history, development, ethnic communities, religion, politics, and a whole lot more, all in a relaxed group setting. Chi-Town is MY town!!! Read full guide profile »

Gina Driskell

As a native Chicagoan I am able to show places that are not usually seen on Chicago city highlight tours. From film locations, to musical landmarks, fine and fun dining and shopping hot spots can be part of the tour. Trips to the Bronzeville (the Great Migration) area can be arranged. After working with architects for over 15 years I am knowledgeable of the buildings and landscape that make up Chicago. One of our many ethnic neighborhoods can be visited for shopping and cusine. From the lake, from the great parks to any of our sports venues there are all types of tours that can be customiz Read full guide profile »

My name is Paul Barile. I am the Accidental Tour Guide. I came into the game late - but have excelled due to my passion for my city. I drive a trolley and give a very formal family friendly tour. I can also do specialty tours such as gangster tours and culinary tours.

We can walk - we can ride a bus or a trolley. We can sample pizza or high end whiskey.

This is your vacation/event. It is my job to makes sure it is the most memorable. Read full guide profile »

Clarence Goodman

I was born in Chicago, but it has really taken my becoming a tour guide for me to fully appreciate my hometown. Let me show you this husking, brawling town through my eyes. As an historian and a lover of all things Chicago, I can design a tour to suit your tastes and interests. We can drive, walk or take the "L." You will have some laughs and some fun, learn a lot, and probably want to relocate here ASAP.

Credentials: I have been a professional tour guide for two very different companies in Chicago, as well as the owner/operator of a virtual tour company. I have loved incorporating my care Read full guide profile »
