How to Visit CHICAGO with an RV - Traveling Robert

[@paulkrause6072]

I recently discovered Traveling Robert and his fabulous videos and music. Like him putting a sticker on each state he visits, I am going to post this comment on all the videos I watch! You da man, Robert!!

[@josepiedra7235]

Thank you for your fabulous videos I can't stop watching them ,every time I watch them I keep counting the days till retirement and just hit the road in a Roadtrek or Chinook

[@jameswood678]

Hello again, and just WOW, Robert. I stumbled upon your channel merely looking for the Winnebago travel trailer review (which was great itself), but I am really amazed (again) at how good you are with these videos! The cinematography is excellent. The editing is excellent. The choice (and volume) of background music is excellent. The subject matter is excellent and well-chosen. You have me wanting to plan a similar trip, now. Also, your narration is excellent! Not only do you have a great voice for narration, but you do a good job of giving a little bit (not too much) of history/background of the things you are filming. Gee, I'm impressed. There are so many garbage KZbin travel channels, but you are amongst the top! I also like the links to the places you ate and tours you took, in the notes. Bravo! 19,209 subscribers as I write this, but I see a whole lot more in your future! :)

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you so much. We keep growing :-)

[@lindapearson3411]

James Wood. Well, written!

[@susanschultz1762]

Hey Robert! I live in Chicago. Thank you for coming! You took some of the best video I've seen of Chicago. You did the city proud. I cringed when you said Willis Tower, but then you included "Sears," so we're good. LOL!!

[@susanschultz1762]

Only now I want to go to the museum and Portillos. I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to have a Chicago dog at Portillos, they're really good!

[@TravelingRobert]

Next time we'll have the Chicago hot dog

[@AmanSingh-sq4lv]

You are like the most underrated youtuber, thanks for the vids :)

[@TravelingRobert]

+Aman Singh Jassi Oh thanks. I appreciate it. Happy travels!

[@nasirsoomro7485]

Thank you Robert,those of us who can't visit these lands you are making us virtually travel there! Hats off

[@TravelingRobert]

+Nasir Soomro Thank you!

[@tonyziptube]

My wife and I have watched all of your videos, and this is our favorite. It's a great overview of Chicago-love the architecture there.

[@TravelingRobert]

+tonyziptube Thank you! Chicago is beautiful.

[@robertorion6559]

I attended college in downtown Chicago, right next to the loop. You are right, it is an amazing town. I try and go back at least once a year and have taken my RV there twice now (but I driveway surf). There are so many amazing things to see and do, you could easily stay a week or more. Thanks for sharing, I think you captured the city very well.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Robert Garskof Oh yeah, we barely scratched the surface on this trip. Thanks!

[@neganthecat5327]

I am really enjoying all of your videos! But thank you so much for making my city look so good. You have really captured what we natives know and love about the city. I feel blessed to be able to spend every day there. Please come back again soon!

[@twentynineteen4687]

I lived there for 20 years. You did the city justice--great video!

[@K2Kevin]

Chicago is one of the greatest cities I have ever been. So much to do everywhere you turn, summertime in Chicago is also amazing. Very clean, things happening all hours of the day and night, and great for the tourists.

[@TravelingRobert]

+K2 (Digital Nomad) We had a fun time there.

[@TanyaBrLee]

I have seen many Chicago tour videos, but yours is by far the best I have seen. Thank you

[@TravelingRobert]

+Tanya Dimitrova Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I sure enjoyed making it

[@susanschultz1762]

I agree with Tanya, you did the city proud. We have a bad rep for violence, but I've lived here 37 years and I've never seen it. Thank you for showing the good side.

[@HookLineSinker4343]

19:56 love that musical riff. reminds me of the Keys!

[@TravelingRobert]

+icollectstuffdude 🍺🌴

[@elenawaltermusic]

Thank you, Robert. Just back from Chicago in March 2023 - the city is great in downtown, outside it’s a bit depressive. And it’s cold. But Art museum is fantastic and some restaurants as well.

[@tydanum]

So glad you showed this again. We did the tour about 2014 and you brought out the memories. Looking forward to your 2024 trip 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@mdjordjevic08]

I enjoy all your videos my friend and yes, I enjoyed my visit in Chicago and the video helped me recall my Chicago vacation.

[@MoDiva38]

Thanks for touring my city! I grew up on Lake Shore Drive. Spectacular city!

[@LillyKC23]

Chicago really is AMAZING! Glad you enjoyed your visit.

[@ashleybraden1864]

[@akarrer66]

[@romevicki1]

Fantastic night view of the city.......so beautiful....makes me wish I had an apt. in one of those buildings......you did an amazing job....thank you so much.

[@TravelingRobert]

So glad you liked it. Thank you!

[@gmaneis]

Robert, your enthusiasm, cheerfulness and sense of humor are contagious. Love your videos. This is a wonderful look at the highlights of Chicago. Extremely fun to watch. The building you showed at 3:10 was the tallest in the city when I was young in the 1950's. A little shrimp among the giant whales now! Loved seeing Wrigley. This is a great year to be a Cubbie fan. Can't wait to see your St. Louis visit, too. Keep up your outstanding work. We all love it.

[@TravelingRobert]

+gmaneis Thanks! Working on St. Louis now. Chicago is a tough act to follow.

[@chrisr6157]

What a great video!! Thanks for showing us around Chicago! The boat ride was a neat way to see all the buildings!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Chris R Thanks. I'm glad you liked it

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Oh yes ,Chitown,love that place,have been a few times,but still learned one or two things from this video,hopefully next time,great footage,thanx for sharing.

[@freeurmind5790]

Chicagoooo, ohhh yeah!

[@mirizedkapadia4699]

Time just flew by watching this video.....and I was left wanting more!! haha That was a lovely vlog and Chicago is really beautiful!!! Awaiting your next....

[@TravelingRobert]

+Mirized Kapadia Thanks! Glad you liked this one too. St. Louis is ready. Tomorrow 12:00 UTC

[@sandycz8127]

Best Chicago tour video I've ever seen.

[@blondysoccergirl]

Amazing video Robert! It has a place in my list of favourite videos. Thank you for sharing!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Dutch Americans Hey thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@AnjaliRajadhyaksha]

Thanks for introducing to one of the great American cities. The building architecture here could be one of the best in the world ! The river cruise, fountains, observation from towers everything was so nice. I never realised how the time flew by... thanks.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Anjali Rajadhyaksha Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my video. We certainly enjoyed the trip.

[@serenafanlife4226]

WOW! Robert, you did a great RV boon dock and tourist video of Chicago. BRAVO!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@austin37335]

We're heading to Chicago in September and this is a city we're really looking forward to visiting. Your video has given us some insight into what it's going to be like and has provided us with some ideas of what might be fun things to do. Cubs tickets booked!

[@doloresesanu1080]

I wasn't really interested in Navy pier either! Loved it when you said "it feels like a tourist trap" keep giving us your opinions! Love your show!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Doe Says Thank you so much. Yeah didn't care for the navy pier so much. Seen those kind of places in most cities. Margaritaville was my cue to continue going.

[@susanschultz1762]

As a Chicagoan I can tell you, we don't go either, it's strictly for the tourist.

[@JoeSpadesTT]

Being from Chicago myself, it's a tourist trap, but one that is well worth it. The Midwestern Santa Monica Pier, or the Midwestern Pier 39.

[@jasonmims5057]

When I went to Navy Pier it was so crowded I literally could not move. There was a line for everything even to get into a store. I left after five minutes because I started to have a panic attack. I had a feeling that it was unsafely crowded where if a fire had broke out everyone would have died.😨

[@daschundloverable]

The good old days before they built everything up was when Jayne Burn was mayor and we had Chicagofest there. We'd see all the big rock and roll bands on the main stage and there were smaller stages for other types of music. It was a good time back then.

[@edwardgonzales5729]

Robert your videos make the RV life look so good . I want to do Chicago the same exact way with my family.

[@rogerchouinard3180]

Thank you so much Robert for this amazing visit of Chicago! You are the best traveller! 👍😎🚎

[@barbarafre.2657]

Very interesting city, fantastic images, very nice video, thanks 👍

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! We love Chicago

[@JohnvanRuijven]

What a beautiful 4K video from Chicago . We watched this video on our 4k TV . Nice sharp images and pictures. What high buildings. We enjoyed this video.

[@TravelingRobert]

+John van Ruijven Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@vpr5562]

I dont know how you do it, and from where you gain your knowledge, but its like i am travelling with you and a personalized guide! Have fun and visit also more awesome places:).

[@TravelingRobert]

Glad you liked it. Thank you so much

[@RedJaguar100Travels]

Hi Robert, I don't know how you did it...? You packed so much, and seen so much in such a short period of time. My hat off to you, it has been most entertaining thus far. awesome and thank you.

[@009INDUSTRYS]

I just want to say that I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You do a good job with them. I have not traveled much in my life and would love to but have not had the opportunity. I love the fact that you narrate everything so well. Thanks

[@TravelingRobert]

+JAMES ADVENTURES Thank you James

[@modernpostwarmodeltrains5674]

I LOVE the end where you end up in the underground tunnel! I laughed & laughed. Looks like me! :)

[@TravelingRobert]

:-) Luckily we had enough clearance.

[@armanddima4046]

[@dlt32]

Love your vids. What a beautiful city. I am so glad you managed to avoid the dangerous areas and survived your stay. Safe travels my friend.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks! I felt safe most of the time. I loved it!

[@daschundloverable]

My son help fabricate the bleachers across from Wrigley Field/Cubs Park @ 21:24. He installed them himself. I used to work at the Equitable building across from the Wrigley building. I'd get almost blown away crossing the bridge during the winter. Not called "the windy city" for nothing. Wow, you were there nearing the playoffs. Watched til the very end and see that you weren't. HEY, DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS YOUR SONG AND YOU SINGING. VERY TALENTED. New sub here. Thanks for the memories.

[@rvnmike6053]

That was a very well done trip. So exciting traveling with you. So many places to see. Safe travels

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@tomgray3391]

[@CARLOTTAZAIREFerguson]

Best travel video ever@

[@DeniseJackson9633]

We've visited Chicago several times, and have never felt unsafe. A fabulous city, and cheaper than NYC.

[@TravelingRobert]

We didn't feel unsafe either

[@goldtopazasylum]

My hometown! :) Chicago is a lot of fun in the summertime...Portillo's has the best char burgers too.

[@stephenchildofthelivinggod1006]

Hands down the view is spectacular way up in the sky amazingly done with your cameras continue the good work God bless I bet the ferris wheel would have even a better View perhaps it would :-)

[@ruanvanheerden1449]

Really enjoying ur videos Robert.Keep up the good work.Do u perhaps have a link or something where our viewers can see ur current location?

[@MrFrijol84]

If you're ever back in Chicago you cen get a bite to eat and have a wide selections of beers at Howells and Hood in the Trbune Tower.

[@stephenchildofthelivinggod1006]

Wow wow wow 103 hundred three floors up with a glass walkway stunning views from there:-) would love to be able to experience that indeed I would

[@philo2808]

Robert, that was one of the best vids of chicago Ive ever seen, but u forgot about the museum of Science and industry at 57th and Lake Shore dr.FANTASTIC place.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! I know, I couldn't do everything in 2 days

[@GaryBoyd02]

Awesome work Robert!

[@TravelingRobert]

[@TheDUNLOP6]

Another great job Robert!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Janet Clement Thank you!

[@gvc56100]

Nice to see the "brighter" side of Chicago. All one hears about is the violence that permeates that city....thanks for another fine video!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Guy Mooglie Like every big city there's good and there's bad. I was there for the good...and I really liked what I saw. Thanks!

[@robertpreston2220]

This city is huge. I have been here 48 years and have never even been touched by anything bad

[@teomargea5689]

Bravisimo Robert

[@TravelingRobert]

+Dorin Dorian Thank you!

[@beatricesiaw8776]

Lake shore drive is a very beautiful view.

[@hensleyhomemovies2260]

I'm riding... you guys are soon much fun.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@dougpickell3856]

Love (Jealous) that you got to Wrigley, hope I will someday.

[@mr.b3168]

this was amazingly narrated.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@10Bluebutterfly]

Great Road Trip Vlog Robert! =D Great choice in taking Uber; taking public transportation can be quite draining and unpleasant. Sticking to the tourist sites is always best (I think in any city). I like your vlog because I got to see it from a tourist perspective; I guess when we travel things seem to look a different way; it is only when we live in the actual place that our feelings may change. Chicago's many severe issues impact its residents who have to endure it. Anyway, you managed to capture the great sites of the city in a short amount of time. Kudos to you for capturing a lot of the architecture and history of Chitown. Safe travels and be well!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! I use public transportation sometimes, especially in Europe, even New York, and I would have used it here if I had more time and inclination to figure it out. With less than 48 hours and being so close to downtown Uber or Lyft was the way to go. And all cities have issues. It is one thing from the tourist perspective and another from the resident perspective. Miami, where I live, is not always the tropical multicultural paradise the travel brochure makes it out to be.

[@michaelyoung7171]

I went here in the summer of June 2010 when I was 11 and I remember going to Willis tower and the aquarium, the history museum, and the planetarium.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Michael Young Cool. Great place

[@carolray5893]

Awesome video

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@mariaporjesus]

welcome to chicago , beautiful video .

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@longtailgar]

This video is outstanding! I live in Chicago. Thank you for making this and I hope you enjoyed your time here!

[@TravelingRobert]

I loved Chicago. When it comes to big cities it is so far one of my favorite. So glad you liked the video

[@debbiewerner7124]

Wonderful tour. Didn’t realize Chicago’s downtown was so big. Have a friend that moved up there. I should go. Right? ❤

[@raysater4083]

Great video mate thanks for sharing loved it.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Ray Sater Thank you! We loved Chicago too.

[@SweetGardenia777]

You can now have Portillo's in Brandon and Tampa, FL.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Arlene Corsini That's great news

[@SweetGardenia777]

They are opening 20 stores in Florida. Hopefully you will get one in Miami. :)

[@dvferyance]

We got one here in Brookfield WI.

[@almamorales4158]

Chicago es una ciudad adorable.

[@mrwanalmeawi1116]

I want see Chicago

[@susanschultz1762]

Please come! You will be welcome! Beautiful city with Midwestern friendliness. Don't pay any attention to the "bulletproof vest" comment. I've lived in Chicago for 37 years and I've never even seen a gun here (except on the cops). Stick to the downtown and north areas and you will be fine.

[@robertpreston2220]

You will love it. Chicago is the best place on earth

[@almamorales4158]

Muy bueno el video, formidable produccion.

[@TravelingRobert]

Que bueno que te gusto

[@dawnstraughen755]

Great tour of Chicago! We live over the border in Indiana and never knew half of this stuff! We visit there every few years. How did you find your spot for camping there? Do you need a reservation? Do they have a dump station? Thanks for all your videos! Love watching them! 😊✌🏼🙏🏻

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. No reservation, no dump station.

[@bjyokums]

Fabulous, Robert !!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Barb Cieri Thank you!

[@AlbertoFormenti]

I loved this video.

[@Justaguyinnc]

You surely caught the views well! Nice job Robert! It is a pretty city to visit.. I did my first 30 years of life there..One of my first teen jobs was throwing the tribune off the back of trucks, we picked up under the loop.. which was nicknamed Green City.. for the lights. I think you caught a plane landing at "Midway".. O'hare is pretty far away from the loop. Riding the "L" systems is an experience you would have enjoyed. My cousin and I would ride them between Wrigley and White Sox games in the same day. You where also parked pretty close to Chicago's Chinatown.. more food! The museum of Science and industry (south on lake shore drive) was always my favorite Museum. So many museums in Chicago.. great city to "visit". Two things everyone needs to try to eat in Chicago to experience Chicago is.. A Vienna Hot Dog ran thru the garden and a Vienna Beef sweet, hot and juicy ... that "is" Chicago. Glad you got the Beef in!! Chicago is so fortunate with so many different ethnic eats.. But nothing beats a good Italian beef joint.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Michael “Justaguyinnc” D Hey thank you so much. Two days was definitely not enough time...especially since there is only so much you can eat. We were actually debating that last day between Chinatown and Portillos. You are right about the airport of course. I just assumed it would be O'Hare. Next time I'll visit the museums and eat the hot dog. Great city to visit for sure...not sure about living there especially in the winter 😱 Thanks!

[@Justaguyinnc]

Agreed.. the winters made me smart enough to move south Long ago..lol..

[@carhall56]

I was lucky to have lived there......wonderful city !!!

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, Chicago is great

[@Rafsan1983]

Super Bro :) Love Chicago And You Too :) Big Thanks :)

[@TravelingRobert]

+Rafsan1983 Thank you!
