Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this walking tour? I'm thinking about gifting it to my teens.

A: There's no specific age limit, but younger kids might get a bit tired since it involves a fair amount of walking. Teens usually enjoy it! It’s a great mix of food and history, so they’ll likely find it interesting. Just make sure they can handle walking several miles through the city!

Q: Can we reschedule the tour if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, the tour provider is pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather. They’ll usually contact you if conditions aren’t safe for the walking tour and help you pick a new date. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy beforehand.

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Any suggestions?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking a lot! Dress in layers, too, as the weather can change pretty quickly in Chicago. A light jacket or sweater is a good idea, especially if you're going in the fall. Also, bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!

Just did the Chicago food tour - Amazing!

I took the Chicago in a Day tour last week with Intrepid Urban Adventures, and it was fantastic! We hit up so many great spots like Millennium Park and learned a ton about the city's Prohibition history. The deep-dish pizza was the highlight for me! Also, our guide was super knowledgeable and kept the whole group engaged. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves food or history!

Considering gifting the Chicago food tour, but need some advice!

I'm looking at this walking tour for my parents who are visiting Chicago next month. They love trying new foods and enjoy history. I’m just a little worried about them keeping up with the walking. Anyone know how strenuous it is? Also, are the food stops enough for lunch?
