Overview
-
Together with the professional guide, you will visit the most charming places in the city. Did you know the name Chicago comes from the Algonquin word “Chicagou” or “Shikaakwa,” which translates to “onion field” or “wild garlic.” Or is it true that The Chicago River flows backwards-
You will have a chance to explore the city, while hearing fascinating facts and legends. Chicagoans can’t resist messing around with their river. On St. Patrick’s Day, the Plumbers Union dyes it a bright shade of Irish green and every summer the Special Olympics holds a fundraiser where tens of thousands of rubber ducks race down the waterway. You will be surprised how many stories are hidden in the streets, buildings and corners of Chicago. Your charming guide will tell you what is special and unique about living in this city. Perfect for those who are visiting the city for the first time and want to get the most of it!
