The tour was a lot of fun but the details are what made it for me. From the very beginning of the tour we were encouraged to really look at buildings to find details that told their stories. From all of the amazing info to the spot on coordination of food and drink I had a blast. Definitely check it out!
Highlights
Wander along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile
Check out the Tribune Tower and the Intercontinental Hotel
Drop by the Billy Goat Tavern and Michael Jordan’s Steak House
