Experience the best of Chicago with our guided tour! Explore iconic architecture and indulge in deep dish pizza and other local treats. Discover the city’s history and vibrant food scene.
- Chicago Pedway - You’ll head into the network of tunnels and bridges that connect skyscrapers and retail stores to see how locals move around the city (especially during those Midwestern winters)!
- Chicago Riverwalk - If the weather is good, we’ll be able to take a wander down to this iconic river and soak in the views it has to offer. Sights include Marina Towers, the Britannica Building, and the Sears Tower (now known as the Willis Tower).
- Wrigley Building - You can’t think of Chicago without thinking of the Wrigley Company. This skyscraper with its central clocktower, first built in the early 1900s, no longer houses Wrigley Company, but is home to several other significant businesses and consulates.
- Tribune Tower - This building represents the core of journalism in Chicago and is home to the newspaper ‘The Chicago Tribune’. Soak in the views of this beautifully picturesque building - which marries two of Chicago’s most well-known industries: journalism and architecture.
