OUR PARTNERS

As a project dedicated to creating tours for Chicagoans, by Chicagoans, it is part of our mission to support & work with small businesses, organizations, historical societies, and community leaders in the neighborhoods we explore. We strive to authentically represent the history, community, and feeling of each area, and actively seek your involvement. Please don't hesitate to get in touch– we want to give the best possible tour we can of your space! We also depend on passionate residents to help us develop new tours of neighborhoods across the city.
