Our Audience Says:

"The Local Tourist really knows what's going on in Chicago, and has great taste to boot. Whenever I am going to be downtown, I ask Theresa what's going on and she always has an interesting recommendation. Thanks to her, I "stumbled" into a favorite performer in a great small venue. It was a night to remember, and it wouldn't have happened without The Local Tourist!" Dawn Bertuca, Girlfriend Celebrations

"Thank you for TLT! My wife and I make frequent trips to "The Windy City" (our FAVORITE town) and we appreciate TLT. Keep it up, it's great!" Mike & Mary Hale, Grand Rapids, MI

"We LOVE downtown Chicago, but living up in Milwaukee are unaware of the day to day events occurring there. {The Local Tourist} is so helpful. It helps us maximize our time spent downtown. The worst feeling, I think, is visiting a city & missing out on some great event because you were totally unaware of it...Visiting Chicago is like visiting another world for us. So continue your fine work here & see you soon! Thanks again.” Albo, Milwaukee, WI

"My wife and I live in Arkansas, and were able to spend a romantic weekend in Chicago after a business meeting. We had never toured the city together. We needed help in finding the who, what, when and where of one of the nation's largest cities. The Local Tourist laid it all out, plain and simple. I will never come to Chicago without the aid of The Local Tourist. It is that helpful and easy to use, even for a couple of Arkansans! Ha ha. Thanks for a great weekend!" Chris and Lindley Abrams, North Little Rock, AR

“I'm always on {mentions city-wide sites}, but "theLocalTourist" is 10x better! I no longer have to waste time going through a broad-based site when I can look at something that's focused on the area I'm searching in.” Demetra Markopoulos, Founder, CarsDiva.com

"I wanted to thank you for your awesome website. My husband and I were in Chicago for our 20th anniversary. Thanks to TLT we saved a ton of money! Your site is a wealth of information! We cannot wait to visit again." Diane Cerrito, Lapeer, Michigan

"As the marketing communications professional for Old St. Patrick's Church, The Local Tourist is a great resource to share all of the wonderful ministries, events and programs happening at the church throughout the year. Theresa continues to enhance the tools on her Web site by adding voiceovers on the TLT piece, a business page, easy uploads for the calendar listings and much more. Additionally, I can't forget the networking opportunities available to connect with so many people, organizations and events throughout the city. This is just a fantastic site and much needed resource for promotional efforts and plain old fun events. Thanks Theresa!" Karla Thomas, Chicago
