Ready for the ultimate day out in Chicago? This tour combines two of the best Chicago experiences&nbsp;for one epic adventure!&nbsp;The tour starts under the dazzling marquee of the Chicago Theater (where you might recognize the neon sign from the movie musical Chicago). You&#39;ll then head off into the bustling city where the&nbsp;first stop is inside one of the best-preserved spaces built for shopping in Chicago, featuring an unforgettable atrium at its core.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The tour will&nbsp;head towards the Chicago Pedway. This unique feature of Chicago is used by locals and commuters daily to move about the city in a network of underground tunnels. We&rsquo;ll head back above-ground near City Hall, and on most weekdays, be able to head inside to see the classic interior design and architecture.&nbsp;Next, you&rsquo;ll make your way to a spot where you&rsquo;ll share a sweet treat, and a local tradition: Chicago-style popcorn. Weather permitting, the tour will take a stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk while taking in views of several soaring buildings, including Marina Towers, the Britannica Building, and the Sears Tower (now known as the Willis Tower).&nbsp;

&nbsp;

From there, the tour will&nbsp;either hop on the &lsquo;L&rsquo; train or a water taxi on the Chicago River (depending on the weather and time of year). Either option offers a uniquely local Chicago experience! Once we&rsquo;re back on solid ground, you&#39;ll make your way to another delicious destination for locally made chocolates from a Chicago staple. Next, the tour will&nbsp;stroll through the beautiful lakefront parks along Michigan Avenue and&nbsp;end up in the picturesque Millennium Park, home to the iconic Bean sculpture.

&nbsp;

You have most likely built up a&nbsp;good appetite by now because you&#39;re about to have an unforgettable food experience!&nbsp;Travel by &lsquo;L&rdquo; train or ride share with your guide from Millennium Park up to the River North neighborhood, the original Chicago foodie destination. Your food tour starts with a very well-known Chicago fare: the Chicago-style hot dog. Every Chicagoan has his or her own preference as to how the dog should be made, and you&rsquo;ll get a chance to try your guides&rsquo; favorite version.

&nbsp;

Next up is the world-famous Chicago deep-dish pizza! An entire meal unto itself, this staple of the Chicago food scene originated in River North in the 1940s&nbsp;when workers and families needed filling dishes at low prices. Your guide will take you to a pizza place that&rsquo;s an icon to Chicago natives to try the real deal for yourself.

&nbsp;

After you&rsquo;ve filled up on pizza and hot dogs, you&rsquo;ll take a stroll through two more establishments, each one essential to Chicago&rsquo;s food culture. The tour will continue its tasting journey with a classic Chicago sandwich: Italian beef. You&rsquo;ll sample this sandwich in a real Chicago institution &mdash; no-frills decor included! The&nbsp;tour ends here, and your guide will be happy to direct you back to your accommodation or share tips for what else to see and do in the city!
