Q&A

Q: Can we reschedule the walking tour if something comes up last minute?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your walking tour. Just make sure to contact the provider at least 24 hours in advance. They’re pretty flexible, but if it’s last minute, you might lose your spot. It's best to check their cancellation policy too just to be safe!

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour, especially if it's chilly?

A: Dress in layers! Chicago can be windy and chilly, especially near the lake. I’d recommend comfy shoes since you’ll be walking a lot, and a light jacket or sweater is great to have. Also, check the weather before you go—there might be chance for rain!

Q: Is there an age limit for the tour? I want to bring my kids.

A: There’s no strict age limit, so kids are welcome! It’s a fun way for them to learn about the city, just keep in mind how long the tour is—maybe the 2-hour option is better for younger kids. Also, strollers are fine if they’re needed!

Just did the 3-hour Chicago walking tour—what an experience!

I went on the 3-hour private guided walking tour last weekend and it was amazing! We saw the Chicago Theatre and the Cultural Center, which was stunning with that Tiffany glass dome. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made it so fun! If you're considering it as a gift, I highly recommend it. Perfect for anyone who loves history or architecture.

Thinking of gifting this walking tour—any thoughts?

I’m looking at gifting the 2-hour walking tour for my friend’s birthday. She just moved to Chicago and I think it would be a great way for her to learn about the city. Has anyone done the shorter version? Is it worth it?
