CUSTOM TOURS & EXPERIENCES
An award-winning historian, museum professional, and cultural expert, Liz Garibay has been creating private, highly customized Chicago experiences for nearly two decades. As a trusted historian and guide for some of the city's leading luxury hotels, she has designed and led experiences for discerning travelers, corporate executives, foreign diplomats and dignitaries, journalists, celebrities, and guests seeking a deeper and more personal way to discover Chicago.
Drawing on decades of experience in history, museums, and cultural interpretation, Liz approaches the city as both a historian and a storyteller. Her extensive network includes fellow historians, architectural and art scholars, culinary specialists, and experts in the people, events, and built environment that have shaped Chicago. When an experience calls for additional expertise or language fluency, she brings together the right people to create something thoughtful, seamless, and entirely personal.
Every experience begins with the guest. Whether you want an engaging introduction to Chicago or an itinerary built around a particular passion, Liz curates the city to match your interests, pace, and sense of adventure. Experiences can range from private walking and driving tours to architecture and history explorations, private museum tours, culinary experiences, neighborhood immersions, historic pub crawls, and private luxury boat charters along the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.
For Liz, the best way to experience Chicago isn't through a standard itinerary. It's through its stories, its people, and the places that reveal what makes the city extraordinary. Every experience is designed around you, because no two guests should experience Chicago in exactly the same way.
