ABOUT CHICAGO GREETER

Welcome Chicago visitors to our city as a Greeter!

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.

Greeters help visitors discover our diverse neighborhoods, enjoy our stunning lakefront and citywide parks, uncover world-class and uncommon cultural facilities and museums, find emerging designers at fashionable shops and boutiques or explore our outstanding restaurants.

With intimate Chicago knowledge, trademark friendliness, a professional demeanor and sometimes fluency in foreign languages, Greeters help create memorable Chicago trips for our many domestic and international visitors.
