Savor the iconic flavors of Chicago, like deep-dish pizza and Italian beef, as you learn about its history, legends, and more from a local. Come hungry!

 

EXPERIENCE:

Start your immersive walking tour at a Chicago icon: the Centennial Fountain at River Esplanade Park. From here, your guide will take you on a culinary and cultural adventure. Our first stop is the famous Billy Goat Tavern, where we recommend trying their signature “cheezborger.” Next, we’ll visit Pizzeria Uno, birthplace of Chicago’s legendary deep-dish pies. Then it’s on to Mr. Beef, home of the classic Chicago Italian beef sandwich and filming location for “The Bear.”

Along the way, you’ll hear about the (usually) friendly rivalry with New York’s pizza scene, Chicago’s meatpacking roots, 1920s speakeasies, gangsters, and much more. We recommend you bring around $30 for optional food purchases throughout the tour. Your guide will have tips on what to try at each stop.

Our tour ends at the historic Green Door Tavern, where you can soak up its hip, vintage vibes as you wind down the afternoon.
