Start your tour under the dazzling marquee of the Chicago Theater, recognizable from movie-musical Chicago before heading off into the bustling city. First, stop at the Chicago Pedway, used by locals and commuters daily to move about the city in a network of underground tunnels.
From here, head towards the official seat of the government for the city at City Hall. Check out its classic interior design and architecture. 
Next, enjoy your first food tasting of the day, traditional Chicago-style popcorn. Weather permitting, your guide will take you for a stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk, pointing out familiar buildings such as the Marina Towers, the Britannica Building, and the Willis Tower.
From here, make your way to another delicious destination where you can sample locally made chocolate from a local shop. 
Then, you will either hop on the ‘L’ 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. Feel like a local as you zip past buildings and catch even more awesome views.
Next, take a stroll through the beautiful lakefront parks along Michigan Avenue. Arrive at the picturesque Millennium Park, home to the iconic Bean sculpture. By then, you’ll hopefully have built up an appetite because it’s time to begin your ultimate food experience.
Travel with your guide up to the River North neighborhood, the original Chicago foodie destination. Your first food sampling is a local favorite, a Chicago-style hot dog.
Next up is the world-famous Chicago deep-dish pizza, the staple of the Chicago food scene. Visit a pizza place that’s an icon to Chicago natives to try the real deal for yourself. After you’ve filled up on pizza and hot dogs, take a stroll through two more establishments, each one essential to Chicago’s food culture.
Then continue your tasting journey with a classic Chicago sandwich: Italian beef. Sample this sandwich in a true Chicago institution. Your tour ends here, but don’t forget to get some recommendations from your guide of where else you visit or eat during tour time in the city.
