Free walking tours in Chicago

Peter gave us a fantastic tour of downtown Chicago. He was extremely well versed in the history of Chicago and was attentive to the mood and needs of those on the tour. We very much appreciated that he had visual aids (schematics, photos. etc.), which helped immensely in understanding the history, engineering and architecture through the decades. We'd definitely book with Peter again.

Franco was amazing. Great tour. Must do in Chicago!

Peter was fantastic - entertaining and knowledgeable. Great morning wander in Chicago.

I enjoyed Franco’s tour, he brought us to interesting buildings in the city, v nice man

Peter was a wonderful guide, he had interesting things to tell about Chicago and for someone with diverse interests like myself he kept it lively and touched upon many different topics such as architecture, arts, history etc. I would 100% recommend the tour to anyone visiting Chicago!

Great walking tour, super informative. Beautiful architecture.

Very knowledgeable guide with real enthusiasm for his city and the sites visited. Tour generally well paced. Personally, would have preferred slightly less emphasis on the arts aspect.

It was an interesting and informative introduction to the city of Chicago

Peter was amazing and made our first trip to Chicago unforgettable! He was energetic, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s food, history, and architecture. My husband and I learned so much, and he made my birthday celebration feel extra special. He also gave great dinner recommendations and took fantastic photos of us, including at Cloud Gate (“The Bean”). I was very impressed and would absolutely work with him again!

Franco was the best! He was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire tour. He always made sure the group received the most relevant and interesting information possible, and he was happy to answer questions along the way. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned a lot and had a fantastic time thanks to him. Highly recommended!

Great tour! Thanks Franco

Peter was awesome. Even thought everyone else cancelled, Peter guided me though the city hallmarks. I really appreciate his commitment and enthusiasm.

Were treated to seeing and understanding buildings in a way not possible without the guide.

Bruce is a senior citizen and experienced guide. He is nice and charming, humorous and well informed.

Bruce has in-depth knowledge of the city and is happy to answer additional questions. Also - great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants etc.

Bruce is clearly an experienced tour guide and knows the Chicago area very well, having lived there all his life. Bruce included everyone equally and took everyone’s needs and interests into consideration. He knew where to go for the most interesting and off the beaten path spots!

Sehr viele Fakten, super Geiheimtipps, die man sonst nicht besuchen/sehen würde.

Bruce knew the right buildings to go into to see great interior architecture and also shared a lot of interesting information. Thanks Bruce!

An informative and fun guided walk with Bruce

I have been to CHicago many times, but never did this tour. Bruce had me scribbling notes for future visits! He was informative, interesting and conscientious in making sure we all had the best experience.

Excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. He made the tour super entertaining and interesting. I 100% recommend him!

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Bruce. I booked solo, and there were a couple that was also on my trip. Bruce is a baby boomer, but was able to relate and cater to a crowd of Gen X and millennials. Bruce is clearly passionate about Chicago and wants everyone to enjoy their time in the Windy City. Unbeknownst to me, Bruce is great at taking photos. I was left on the trip as the couple had to depart for their flights, and I started to take selfies. Bruce asked if I wanted him to take my photos, and I gave my phone over to him with the lightest of instructions. He hit every angle perfectly and centered. Thank you for the Chicago facts and memories, Bruce!

Bruce is truly passionate about the city of Chicago and that is a key factor to provide a great tour. You can tell he really knows the city and is keen on proving a good time for his costumers not only during the tour but also for the rest of the trip: he gives the best tips to enjoy the city (other tours, activities and places to eat and enjoy a good time).

We were very happy with the tour Bruce provided. It was fascinating to hear the stories behind the city and to gain a deeper understanding of the history and the facades of the skyscrapers. He also showed us several hidden spots that we would have otherwise walked past. Bruce was personable, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. It was evident that he genuinely loves his city, which made the experience even more engaging. An extra ordinary guid.

Bruce effort to teach you pieces of te history of Chicago is priceless. It's a perfect tour for getting to know the "Must see/Must know" of the City, plus a couple of things extra!
