First and foremost Nate our tour guide is why this tour was amazing! Within 5 minutes we were all family having a blast walking, eating, laughing and learning some cool things about Chicago. I've lived in the Chicago area for 40+ years and have taken a number of tours, and thought I knew it all, but Nate amazed me with new tales. Then there's the food. You can't go wrong with Chicago's iconic staples. Take the tour! You'll love it!!

Julia was an excellent guide, who gave us lots of fun information about Chicago! The food was wonderful at all 3 locations, including the dessert as well! It was fun to see the beautiful Macy’s store and the Christkind market. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting during the holiday season.

Once again it paid for us to use GetYourGuide to book activities on the back of a booking.com hotel reservation.This walking tour was the highlight of our brief stay in downtown Chicago. Our guide Sarah was not only nice and knowledgable - she was enthusastic, approachable and genuine. We learned SO much we didn't know about Chicago! The walking pace was just right for exploring and talking together AND eating the amazing local snacks and specialties Sarah had organized for the group. I loved the cheddar and caramel popcorn mix while discovering the Pedway and the original-recipe brownie while soaking up the Palmer House. And we were especially pleased to have a slice of deep dish pizza waiting for us at Giordano's. (No need to spend the rest of our evening waiting 45 minutes to try it!) We highly recommend this tour.
