Inside Chicago Walking Tours The #1-rated tour company on TripAdvisor out of 400+ in Chicago! Public & private tours available year-round. Tours average 2 hours and run rain or shine.

Specializing in architecture interiors, these highly creative and engaging walking tours are the best way to experience our gorgeous city. This certified woman-owned small business was founded by an experienced tour guide and product development director for a major sightseeing company in Chicago, Hillary Marzec. Given the freedom to research and construct her own tours, she used her experience as

a teacher, writer, improv comedian, and tour guide to create tours that tell the story of Chicago in an engaging, educational, and always entertaining way. These tours combine architecture, history, and storytelling in one powerful experience of the city that no other tour company can match. Please refer to the tour offerings on our website for more details. We offer public and private walking tours, plus virtual tours of Chicago topics like architecture, history, foods, and more!

Today's "view from the office." Private tour with a lovely older couple from Brazil, who'd never been to Chicago before. I made sure to time the Skydeck visit for that romantic dusky lighting over the city. It was magical, and the full moon was a bonus! 🤩

Doing a private tour, I just overheard a tour guide (from a company that's unfortunately been selling cheap copies of my tours since April) telling his group that these are "dragons" on the outside of the Harold Washington Library. People, this is why you don't settle for cheap imitations of the real deal! Don't be fooled by copycat tours -- make sure you're taking one of the real INSIDE CHICAGO WALKING TOURS!
