5.00This tour is great if you want to experience a little bit of the iconic Chicago foods…Chicago dog, deep dish pizza, Italian beef sandwich, Garrett’s popcorn, and the original brownie made at the Palmer House. They are small portions, so it was great to try everything. Max was awesome and also gave some great history of Chicago and its beautiful architecture. Highly recommend!
Highly Rated with Good Reason ...

5.00Great Chicago food choices on the tour. I loved it and they were delicious. Our guide Erin was new, so she had a mentor, Mickey. She did great! He was just icing on the cake. Fascinating city history and amazing architecture so it was an informative tour as well. One thing, they should leave off the trump building stop. I didn't need to know anything about that.
