Overview of your Chicago tour:

Step into Chicago's cinema history on my 2-hour guided walking tour of Chicago Movie Locations! On the 1. 25-mile route, you will venture through downtown and underground in Chicago's Pedway, discovering iconic film locations, lesser-known movie subjects, and landmarks like City Hall and Millennium Station. Like all of my tours, this one includes multimedia enhancements throughout and is led by me, a Ph.D. in film. Perfect for film enthusiasts or those seeking a unique city adventure!
