Excelente guía. Mucha y buena información acompañada de gráficos. Atenta y receptiva a los comentarios, preguntas y sugerencias. Además, tuvo el detalle de "subirnos" a uno de los rascacielos. Recomendable.

Lynn has been an excellent Chicago host, she has made me fall in love with the city. Her kindness, her knowledge and her responses to each of our questions has made the Tour unforgettable. If I’m lucky enough to come back to Chicago I will love to do another tour with her , I strongly recommend it.

Lynn is a veteran in her field of providing historical information of the various millennium park buildings and structures. She has a jovial nature and good communication skills. Being born and brought up in Chicago she has definitely an edge over the others in this field.

Best things to see and do in Chicago

Chicago is the third most populated major city in the United States of America but is full of interesting attractions, amazing architecture, rich history, and delicious food that make it a popular first choice for many on vacation. The “Windy City” as it has been nicknamed, lies on the coast of Lake Michigan, one of the 5 Great Lakes in Northern America, while the Chicago River winds through the city’s downtown providing breathtaking views of the city’s skyline. 


Doing a free walking tour in Chicago is the perfect way to get to know the most interesting places in the city, while you get a chance to see some of the lesser-known gems and get some great recommendations on where and what to do later from your local guide. A visit to this city wouldn’t be complete without visiting some of its architectural masterpieces that are representative of the mid-west style, like Mies van der Rohe’s Lake Shore Drive Apartments, or massive skyscrapers like Willis Tower which can be found along with others in what is known as The Magnificent Mile. Some of the must-see spots you should include are the 360 Chicago Tower Observation Deck, The Art Institute of Chicago, take a walk to Millenium Park and see the famous Cloud Gate sculpture. Sports fans love to visit Wrigley Park and families love Lincoln Zoo.
