I’ve never heard anyone say the great state of Illinois 😂

[@APLaurenson]

Luis thank you for setting a good example and calling it "Sears Tower" not "Willis". Credibility = 100

[@LuisGustoComedy]

#SearsTowerForever

[@ChiZillaaa]

Can i ask you why people call it Willis?? I'm from New Orleans and your comment had me curious

[@-.TS.-]

@@ChiZillaaa Sears went bankrupt and Willis took over the building naming rights. True Chicagoans still call the building Sears tower.

[@tiffprendergast]

[@TwiinStar1224]

Hey bro, as someone who majored in history I truly appreciated you including the history lesson. Didn't expect to see it in the guide since usually people get straight into the stuff to do. Keep doing your thing!

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

I was born in 1950 in Chicago, raised and worked there my whole life and just recently retired and moved. You were spot on with SEARS Tower and it was Marshal Fields (I hated when they sold to Macys). Also, Chicago was known for their THIN crust pizza with square cut pieces way before deep dish was invented. I used those underground pedways during our 'brisk' winters. You did an amazing job talking about our city, thank you.

[@Die.Ractor091]

Hi, I have been wanting to ask this to someone like you who have lived chicago for long. is Chicago what media says it to be? is it full of crimes as people say? TIA

I really enjoyed your video with the intro being a history review. Thanks for including the top museums and even the free activities. Was hoping to see some steakhouses but glad I found the alternative: hot dog and sandwich joint.

[@youngatheart957]

What a great video. Well researched and very interesting. Thank you. For someone who is coming to your city for a very short visit, this video was very valuable and I'm wishing we were planning a longer stay. I had no idea of the history.

Great video about Chicago. Hi, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@samsans8716]

Your videos are extremely well put together, the information you provide shows how much time and research you put into them. Thank you for these great quality vids, using them to hype up my husband for our trip the end of this summer😄

[@TheMusicalElitist]

I love how in all your videos you're like a rapper dropping his latest tune - but in an articulate, informative and warm manner i.e. without the need for cussing or acting like a general cretin! Great vid!

[@slw0599]

Just watched your tourist trap video, which was good....as we're coming to Chicago next April from the UK... inevitably we will do the touristy things as we've never been before, but I liked your tip about the pizza's as I'm not too keen on deep pan which is a staple dish here, so I'd much prefer a thin base, where do you recommend I go? And also how far is des planes as I'd like to visit the breakfast club "school" which is now a police station and is it worth the visit?.... keeps up the great work with these helpful vids👍

[@laclairelcyy007]

Im visiting end of April for my bday trip , is that a good time to visit ? I’m even more excited now ! I’m about to run up the playlist ! I’m Nervous about the commute via the train bc it’s my first time ! I’m coming from MDW to a hotel on magnificent mile . Any suggestions?

[@josiastorres1284]

Coming in a week from Louisville to celebrate my 30th. Thank you Luis, I've been binging your vids to prepare our trip! Louisville would be a good choice for your next city, not too far, lots of history. Peace!

Happy Early Birthday!! Thanks so much for watching and yes, Louisville is definitely on my list!

Hi Luis!What's good? 😁 I'm a recent subscriber and I've been enjoying your vids of Chicago for the past couple weeks. I was wondering , any tips for anyone traveling there for Lollapalooza?It'll be my first festival and I heard the crowds will be huge to say the least. Have you ever been? Thank you. - C.

[@peterho8007]

Navy Pier is a tourist trap . Did u once say that in your video ?

[@QueecyBudgets]

Great video! Does the river cruise run certain times throughout the year?

[@gnm125]

Hi Luis! I'm thinking of visiting Chicago in January. I know January is a lot colder there than I'm used to. What sorts of attractions would you recommend for a winter visit?

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Hey Gabriella, check out my Chicago Travel Guide playlist for tons of suggestions!

[@bronxsportsfan]

I thought you were talking to me when you said, "You're gonna love this, Cruz." [Cruz is really my last name. I'm sure you actually said (at approx. 11:04), "You're gonna love this cruise."]

Perfect video, Mister, you are a TRUE Chicagoan!

Awesome video!! I know the fellow Chicagoans can agree on the food and things to do! And also love the history section. Lots in there I didn't know!

[@jarrellville]

Thanks so much! Really enjoying this channel. Our family of 4 is considering coming to Chicago the last week of June, but we would be driving. We will probably use a rental car for the trip. Would you recommend turning in the rental car at one of the airports and then using mass transit while we are in the area? We would specifically be visiting U of Chicago & Northwestern, while staying downtown. What would you recommend regarding driving near the city, turning in our rental car, using mass transit, and then getting a rental car for the trip home? Would that be easy to do in terms of finding a place to turn in the rental car and then picking up another one a week later? Thanks for any advice.
