What you'll do
Join the Chicago Food and Culture Walking Tour and make sure you sample the city’s best culinary staples.
From the famous "cheezborger" to hearty Italian beef, Chicago has a long-standing tradition of meatpacking and several historic taverns.
You’ll see the birthplace of Chicago’s iconic deep-dish pizza at Pizzeria Uno, founded in 1943 and hear about the Windy City’s pizza-shaped rivalry with New York.
On this tour, you can learn all about Chicago’s restaurant connections to Saturday Night Live and try the quintessential Chicago Italian beef sandwich at Mr. Beef. This local favorite is a filming location for the Emmy-winning hit series “The Bear”.
Guests can take in beautiful views of the Chicago Riverwalk, Centennial Fountain, and glitzy downtown skyscrapers as you take your 1.5-mile stroll together.
Hear about legendary tales of Prohibition-era speakeasies and notorious gangsters such as Dean O’Banion and Al Capone.
On this food and culture tour, your friendly Chicago guide will share hidden gems that you can experience with your fellow travelers.
