I visited Chicago twice and felt very safe the entire time. I stayed in the downtown area and I had a great time. I just applied the usual safety tips of anywhere I travel to and stayed with my group / my husband the entire time. Just be alert as you would in any big city!
Chicago is a beautiful city with amazing people, sights, and food.

Just came back from Chicago. I only have positive things to say. It was safe. Mag mile, Lakeshore, Northalsted all good for tourists

Andy could be giving a tour of literally anything and I would show up--- he's so good!

I have lived in Chicago longer than Andy is old and it is not as safe as it used to be you always have to be aware of trouble wherever you go but I still love Chicago ❤

Been using this channel for getting more comfortable around Chicago. I travel into the city from out of state for work. I come from a smaller town and learning how to interact and move through the city below the radar has been key to making each trip less stressful.

Had such a great time taking tours with you when I was there in the spring! There's so much more I want to do, can't wait to be able to come back.

Just got back from Chicago. One safety tip is to take the (#6/10) bus from downtown to the very popular Science Museum even though it's tempting to take the Red Line down to the local neighborhoods & commute from there.

The bus is an EZ trip which drops you off literally right in front of the museum and the shoreline... and it's a much safer option.

FYI: I also took the walking tour with Bruce in Lincoln Park and it was terrific. I had no idea of the (sordid) history that took place right across from Lincoln Hall where I went to see a concert while there!

Really useful, thank you. I'm visiting in October with my 70 year old mother so was a little wary.

"...where families can come to Wrigley Stadium..."
I suggest you voiceover that part to "Wrigley Field" like the sign says.
