A: There’s no strict age limit! Kids are definitely welcome on the tour, and it can be a fun way for them to learn about the area. Just keep in mind that some trivia questions might be a bit tricky for younger children. I brought my 10-year-old, and they had a blast!

Q: What should I wear for the Wicker Park tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes, you’ll be doing quite a bit of walking! The tour covers a good distance as you circle Wicker Park, so dress for the weather too. Layers can be helpful since it’s Chicago and it can change fast. Casual and comfy is the way to go!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can you reschedule?

A: Great question! If the weather’s really bad, Mitch’s Tours will usually reach out to participants to reschedule. Just check their cancellation policy when you book. I went on a sunny day, but I saw they had rescheduled a tour due to rain a week before.

Just did the Wicker Park Walking Tour and it was awesome!

I went on the Wicker Park Walking Tour last weekend, and it was such a great experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history of the area, and the trivia was a fun twist. We stopped at some amazing local spots for snacks—and the Victorian mansions were stunning. Totally recommend it as a gift to anyone who loves Chicago!

Considering the Wicker Park Walking Tour as a gift for my parents

I’m looking at this walking tour for my parents' anniversary! They love exploring new neighborhoods in Chicago, but I'm curious about the difficulty level. My dad isn’t super active, but he’d enjoy the history. Is it mostly flat walking? Any tips?
