Q&A

Q: Can you customize the tours for different age groups, like for kids and teens?

A: Absolutely! Portal Tours tailors their tours based on the group's age and interests. For kids, they might focus on fun facts and interactive stories, while for teens, they’d include more historical context. Just mention the age group when booking to ensure a perfect fit!

Q: What should we wear for a walking tour in Chicago?

A: Comfort is key! I'd recommend wearing comfy shoes since you'll be walking quite a bit. Check the weather too—layers are great in Chicago since it can change quickly. If it’s a food tour, maybe bring a light jacket for any indoor stops.

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel or reschedule?

A: If it rains, they usually try to reschedule if you give them enough notice. Some tours might just adapt their route to include more indoor spots. It’s best to check their policy when you book, or just give them a call!

Thinking of gifting a custom walking tour in Chicago!

I’m considering getting a custom walking tour for my parents' anniversary. They love food and history! Has anyone done one of these? I saw they have food tours that include tastings. What’s the food like? Can I request specific cuisines? I hope it’s a hit!

Anyone done a Chicago tavern tour?

I'm looking into the tavern tours that trace Chicago’s beer history for a group of friends. How fun are they? Do they do tastings at each stop? Any recommendations? I want to make this a memorable outing!
