CURATED EXPERIENCES
Connect with the real Chicago through immersive stories and unexpected perspectives.
What began as guided tours for 100,000+ Chicagoans and visitors across more than a decade is now curated content, neighborhood explorations, and tour recommendations for curious people.
As a business and a community, we are always evolving, just like the city of Chicago.

City Experiences
Curious minds welcome! We create tailored, off-script adventures in culture and design to match your group’s goals. Tours can be by bus or foot, indoors or outdoors, and may include culinary stops or visits with local businesses. Experiences can simply introduce Chicago’s history or connect to themes like change, adaptation, and innovation.
Corporate adaptability + ai Innovation Workshop
Ideal for team offsites, retreats, and strategy sessions, this option builds on your neighborhood exploration with a hands-on workshop that translates shared city immersion into applied team learning. We collaborate with Onda Collective to facilitate the session, with the option to host in a neighborhood community meeting room and to include local catering. Onda’s strategic facilitators use design and research methods to transform real-world insights into actionable strategy.
The workshop is tailored to your goals and context, with options to emphasize collective learning, trust, adaptability, or practical implementation in the AI era. Facilitators help your team build a shared perspective on AI’s role in your organization, identify human strengths to lean into, and spot opportunities where AI can support workflows and collaboration.
