We start our tour under the dazzling marquee of the Chicago Theater (you might recognize from dozens of movies and TV shows). Then, we’ll head towards the Chicago Pedway. We will pass by the City Hall-County Building, commonly known as City Hall.
Next, we’ll make our way to a spot where we’ll share a sweet treat, and a local tradition: Chicago-style popcorn. Weather permitting, we’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. We’ll end up in the picturesque Millennium Park, home to the iconic Bean sculpture.
We hope you’ve built up a good appetite by now because we’re on our way to an unforgettable food experience. Your food tour starts with a very well-known Chicago fare: the Chicago-style hot dog. Next up is the world-famous Chicago deep-dish pizza. After you’ve filled up on pizza and hot dogs, we’ll then continue our tasting journey with a classic Chicago sandwich: Italian beef. Our tour ends here, and your guide will be happy to direct you back to your accommodation or share tips for what else to see and do in the city.
