ABOUT CHICAGO GREETER

Meet a Greeter and make a friend today!

Chicago Greeter is a free service provided by the Chicago Office of Tourism that matches visitors with enthusiastic, city-knowledgeable residents.

These volunteer residents, or Greeters, highlight the remarkable sights and ambiance that make Chicago a terrific place to live and visit. 

With a Greeter, you can discover our diverse neighborhoods, enjoy our stunning lakefront and citywide parks, visit world-class and uncommon cultural facilities and museums, find emerging designers at fashionable boutiques or try one of our outstanding restaurants.  Greeter visits are available in many languages.

Register seven to ten business days prior to your scheduled arrival. Greeter visits are designed for parties of six or fewer.
