What to expect

Explore Chicago's architectural marvels, a testament to the ambitious spirit of the Prohibition Era, while indulging in its world-renowned cuisine.

You'll start the tour under the dazzling marquee of the Chicago Theater (where you might recognize the neon sign from the movie musical Chicago). You’ll then head towards the Chicago Pedway. This unique feature of Chicago is used by locals and commuters daily to move about the city in a network of underground tunnels. You’ll head back above-ground near City Hall.

Next, you’ll make your way to a spot where you’ll share a sweet treat, and a local tradition: Chicago-style popcorn. Weather permitting, you’ll take a stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk while taking in views of several soaring buildings, including Marina Towers, the Wrigley Building, and the Chicago Tribune. You’ll end up in the picturesque Millennium Park, home to the iconic Bean sculpture.

Your food tour starts with a very well-known Chicago fare: the Chicago-style hot dog. Every Chicagoan has his or her own preference as to how the dog should be made, and you’ll get a chance to try your guides’ favourite version. Next up is the world-famous Chicago deep-dish pizza. Your guide will take you to a pizza place that’s an icon for Chicago natives to try the real deal for yourself. You'll continue your tasting journey with the Italian beef.

Your tour ends here, and your guide will be happy to direct you back to your accommodation or share tips for what else to do in the city.
