[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The TOTAL IMMERSION Tour is a unique 9-hour opportunity for you to become a local photographer for a day.
You’ll choose either sunrise or sunset as the anchor I build the rest of your tour around. We’ll walk, we’ll use public transit, we’ll rush to see some locations and spend quality time creating photographs in others. You’ll hear Chicago stories, some personal anecdotes and learn about Chicago’s history and levels. We’ll stop for a meal break and, depending on time of day, a local coffee or snack break (food/drink not included in price).
Tour start / end locations are not the same location. Not to worry, we either end somewhere not far from where we began (or your stay location) or I accompany you back, depending on your plans and comfort level.
