Whether you’re a movie fanatic or simply want to take a Chicago sightseeing tour that hits iconic landmarks, this walking tour is for you! We’ll start our tour in the Chicago Loop, a lively neighborhood filled with incredible architecture and attractions. We’ll pass buildings that were seen in movies like Wayne’s World and The Negotiator, cross the Chicago River and salute the Marina Towers from The Hunter, then stop inside Union Station. You might recognize this historic hub from The Untouchables or Public Enemies. While touring the Loop, we may also see filming scenes from The Blues Brothers as well as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Your tour guide will point out iconic Chicago buildings including the Willis Tower and ‘ if it’s on your wish list ‘ the famous Bean sculpture in Millennium Park.
