Funsherpa.com Leads Way to Best Things to Do in Chicago
New online experience store offers fun activities and gifts for any budget. Launch coincides with start of holiday shopping season.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 3, 2009 -- Lifestyle and entertainment guide funsherpa announced the launch of its online “experience store” at www.funsherpa.com. The new Web site gives locals and visitors a one-stop shop filled with memorable Chicago activities for personal indulgence or to give as gifts for any occasion.

Funsherpa is based on the premise that experiences bring more joy than possessions. To that end, the site offers a variety of options for how you can get your kicks: More than 120 unique experiences are available, ranging from relaxing golf and spa packages to thrilling ice climbing adventures and fighter jet flights. Customers browse activities by type and cost, then purchase their selections from pre-screened companies with no markup and no fees. A price guarantee ensures customers “never pay more than you would at the door.”
“Our goal was to make it really easy to buy fun experiences and give our customers as many unique choices as possible” said funsherpa founder Anton Dy Buncio. “We search for activities people are talking about on social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook, then we find the best companies to provide those services.” Experience seekers can rest assured that all funsherpa.com partners must pass strict safety and quality tests before their services are offered on the site.
Early reviews confirmed funsherpa.com’s ability to deliver on its promise of unique, memorable experiences. James, a Northwestern University student, chartered a sailing package for a marriage proposal. “The private sail I purchased not only provided me with a romantic date, but it also got me a ‘yes’!”
Melissa, a foodie, gifted a French cooking lesson to friends who were “ecstatic about the class,” she said. “Thanks, funsherpa, for making it so easy to give such a special gift.”
Funsherpa.com continues to add experiences weekly in preparation for the holiday gift-giving season. Other major cities will follow soon after the Chicago launch, according to Dy Buncio.
