the Cost of a Chicago Walking Tour

I took a walking historical skyscraper tour. It cost $15.00. We walked around and through several skyscrapers with a tour guide who told us the history of the buildings. There were about 30 people total in our group.

This wasn't the greatest tour I've been on. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the buildings in that he had obviously memorized a lot of factoids and the history of all the buildings. However, whenever anyone asked a question or wanted him to go more indepth into the history he didn't really have anything to say. The route was great. We were all given a map that had our route and some of the information on them to take home. While I do wish the tour guide had known more about his route I'd still say it's a really great value!

Make sure you take your walking shoes! 2 hours of walking can definitely be further than you'd think. Several people in the group were unprepared. This tour did provide one bottle of water per person but I'd definitely bring more if I went again. So look into if your tour is providing water or if you should bring your own.
