IF YOU DO NOT SEE A TOUR ON A DAY OR AT A TIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU, PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR REQUEST AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR SCHEDULE. Hello. My name is Lynn. I have been guiding guests in Chicago for 20 years. I completed rigorous training from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, and the historic Glessner House. Born and raised in the Chicago area I am a former teacher. As a tour guide, I now have the best classroom (Chicago) and the best students (my guests). I would love to share my favorite city with you. So, join me; won’t you? If you don't find a tour at a day or time that works for you, please let me know and I will do my best to add a tour to accommodate your schedule.

Tour description

Our meeting place on on the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street near the map of the park. Look for me I will have a red umbrella.

    We will begin and end the tour on the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street (see map). There is no address to search for as it is the corner of the park, but it is right across Michigan Ave. from the Chicago Cultural Center (the former Chicago Public Library). I will be carrying a red umbrella. NOTE: On occasion access to the park will be through a security checkpoint. It is best to carry as little as possible with you.

I'm appreciated that she took care of all of people in advance because the cross was expected to be closed at the meeting point and park. Also, she gave us lot of information and a extra tour with explains and a small gift. This tour will be remembered as a part of the Chicago city. Thank you, Lynn.
