Discovering Hidden Gems in Downtown Chicago

Robin_R, Jul 2024

Great walking from a very personable and knowledgeable guide. While we were hesitant to take a walking tour, we were glad that we did. It afforded us an opportunity to go inside a lot of beautiful “hidden” gems in the area together with an informed narrator. The walking was not a burden at all because we had so many stops to take in the awesome beauty that we discovered along the way. We would highly recommend this tour and our guide, Dave Lifton. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Itinerary

  • The Chicago Theatre

    This is where your tour begins - underneath the iconic neon sign made famous in both movies and musicals! Here, you'll meet your guide and then set off through bustling downtown Chicago.

    15 minutes
  • 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)!

    15 minutes
  • You'll pass this 10-story building that houses the city government offices of Chicago. You'll get a chance to enjoy the beauty of the historical architecture while your guide gives you some information about its history.

  • The Picasso

    Enjoy an up-close Picasso experience with this unique piece of public art. Your guide will explain how this piece came to Chicago and how it was received.

  • 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 and the Britannica Building. (Note: this stop is not part of the tour during the winter months).

    15 minutes
  • 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 the 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.

  • Magnificent Mile

    Home to lakefront parks with gorgeous views and a sublimely tranquil vibe, we'll walk along this famous street as we make our way to the end point of the tour.

    15 minutes
  • Millennium Park

    This is where your tour ends and where the iconic "Bean" sculpture (actually called The Cloud Gate) lives. You'll have plenty of time to soak in Chicago's most famous piece of art before your tour concludes. You'll be in the perfect central location to continue exploring Chicago - with plenty of restaurant, bar, and attraction recommendations from your guide.

    25 minutes
  • Cloud Gate

    This is where your tour ends and where the iconic "Bean" sculpture (actually called The Cloud Gate) lives. You'll have plenty of time to soak in Chicago's most famous piece of art before your tour concludes. You'll be in the perfect central location to continue exploring Chicago - with plenty of restaurant, bar, and attraction recommendations from your guide.
