Chicago: Guided Food Tour + Bike or Kayak Rental

About this experience

Chicago: Guided Food Tour + Bike or Kayak Rental This Chicago guided food tour combines the city's legendary cuisine with active exploration options. You'll walk through downtown Chicago sampling four signature dishes whilst learning about the city's history and architecture. The tour includes a complimentary bike or kayak rental to use within three days, giving you two different ways to experience the Windy City. Your guide leads you through the heart of Chicago, stopping at carefully selected spots to try deep-dish pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, and dessert. Between tastings, you'll walk along Michigan Avenue, the Chicago Riverwalk, and past landmarks including Millennium Park's Cloud Gate sculpture, the Chicago Theatre, and State Street. The tour covers both food history and architectural insights as you move through different neighbourhoods. After your walking tour ends, you can choose between cycling the Lakefront Trail with skyline and Lake Michigan views, or paddling a kayak from Ohio Street Beach for a water-level perspective of the city. Both rentals offer flexible timing so you can explore at your own pace on a separate day.
