- One of the best ways to really acquaint yourself with the infamous city of Chicago is to do it from the streets, through a guided Chicago Gangster Tour or Ghost Tour, detailing the crimes, deals, and charisma that made the city what it is today. We offer a 2 for 1 deal, hosting historically-based guided tours of Chicago’s gangers AND ghost stories, right from the Chicago Loop Vice District. Other things to note Bring your camera!From Price:$37 / person
- You will get to hug and brush the cows, feed the carrots to the horses, give the pig's tummy rubs, cuddle with a turkey, hold a chicken, and hear the animals stories of resilience and so much more. Enjoy a beautiful day during The Gentle Barn's open to the public hours Sunday's between 11am-1pm. There is a gift shop with Gentle Barn merchandise like logo'd t-shirts, mugs, hats, plush animals etc. There is a snack shop that offers delicious plant based snacks and drinks. There is a wonderful presentation about how Ellie (our founder) started The Gentle Barn in the arena, but most important is lots of time with the animals. The Gentle Barn is an experience that you won't soon forget! Other things to note: Out of respect for the animals, we kindly ask that you do not bring any dairy, egg, meat, poultry, or seafood onto the property. The Gentle Barn is an outdoor farm environment, therefore we strongly recommend all visiting guests wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, a hat, and plenty of sunscreen.From Price:$28 / person

- Standing in front of a camera can be quite intimidating. With experience both in front of and behind the lens, I will always do my best to help you capture the best natural travel photos in the city of Chicago. Worried about how you'll look? Don't be! I will always show you the photos before moving forward. During this experience I will not only help you receive beautiful photos but I will also try to teach you insight about modeling and photography. This experience will be ideal for individuals who are looking for a city tour but would also love to capture some scenic travel and portrait images. I love to build positive connections with others, so this is great for someone who wants to be more engaged and collaborative with their guide. I will be using a Sony DSLR to capture your candid and lifestyle moments. This includes both portraits and full body shots. If you would like to learn more about the editing process or a photographer's guides, let me know and I am more than happy to share my knowledge. You will receive 8 edited images and all unedited photos (usually 200+). Editing does not include body manipulation, but can be requested for an additional charge. If you do not see a time that works for you on the calendar, please send me a message! I do accept large parties! Please note that I cannot guarantee a private session unless you booked as a private session.From Price:$121 / person
