Overview

Embark on a profound, downtown walk-around, to discover incredible stories and secrets of the city on this not to miss feet on the street experience! During our loop around "Da Loop" we will peel back the layers of this Great Big Onion Town, going in and out of extraordinary buildings, admiring amazing art and architecture along the way as we uncover how it all came to be. Expect an engaging, entertaining and wide-eye-opening tour du jour of my sweet home, Chicago.

Meeting points

Meet your guide under the RED "1" ROOF ENTRANCE of the 1 NORTH DEARBORN BUILDING located between Washington and Madison Streets, just beside the Sweetgreen, bus stop and Blue Line station. Look for the guy with a RED, WHITE and BLUE BACKPACK.

Go see Colin!

Colin is magnificent! He helps one see Chicago in a way even the locals don’t. I say this because we used to live in Chicago and had no idea how many beautiful spaces there are. Colin knows his stuff, adds visuals to enhance the history and delivers his information with grace. Go see Colin!
