Here are some accomplishments since Tours With Mike launched in 2021:
- Runner-up for the Chicago Reader’s Best Tour awards multiple times,
- Among the top 10% of TripAdvisor’s ranked activities globally,
- Called “a tour guide’s tour guide” by WTTW’s Geoffrey Baer, and

Prior to this endeavor, Mike was a volunteer docent with the Chicago Architecture Center for 15 years creating and leading some of that organization’s most popular tours. If you have a Chicago tour you would like to see featuring specific neighborhoods, buildings, topics, or anything else, reach out to Tours With Mike. Creating special experiences is his passion!
