Description

2 Hour walking tour of Chicago's key sights and architecture. Learn the city's amazing history and see things from a local's perspective. I pack lots of sights, sounds and experiences on this tour so put on your walking shoes! We first meet in a sheltered spot to discuss the tour and begin our way trekking through Chicago. We'll use the expansive city sidewalks, plazas, parks and Riverwalk as well as part of the underground Pedway system that is known to only a percentage of Chicagoans (we have 5 miles of Pedway!). Learn about the history of The Windy City (as well as why we're REALLY called The Windy City) while digesting some of our city's most prominent sights. Using some of the Loop's buildings and sculptures, we'll get rare, unique views and traverse the city like a local. If you're curious about Prohibition-era gangster lore or our speakeasy past, we can cover that too. Be prepared for indoor and outdoor walking as our trek will take us outside, especially during warmer weather. Please let me know if you have any allergies or food sensitivities, as we’ll be stopping for an authentic Chicago snack that's been around for more than a century. Whether you're a local or this is your first visit, I promise to pack lots of interesting tidbits into our 2 hours together! COVID-19 UPDATE: We will be spending time outside as well as inside the Pedway and select buildings for brief periods. Please be prepared with a mask for indoors and accomodate for spacial distancing. Come play and eat with me in my city!
