About Out & About Chicago Walking Tours
Out & About Chicago Walking Tours is, per the company's own homepage, "proudly LGBTQ owned and operated." Co-owners Antonio Rodriguez and Rickii Romano met at The Theatre School at DePaul University, where they earned their MFAs in acting, then spent years leading architecture tours on the Chicago River before starting their own company. Their tours tell what they call "the whole story" of Chicago, including the Great Chicago Fire and the reversal of the Chicago River, rather than a sanitized version. Romano's guide bio highlights LGBTQ+ Chicago history and culture, including Hollywood Beach, which her bio describes as "Chicago's queer beach." Booking runs through a contact form or Instagram DM.
