TOUR DESCRIPTION

Defined by the elevated train lines that form a circuit in the heart of the city, the North Loop is Chicago’s downtown area and theatre district.

Chicago Loop Tour

The Loop contains the largest concentration of skyscraper, including the second tallest building in the United States and it is effectively a living architectural museum, with a large range of architectural styles, from Victorian to post-modern, many with grand interior spaces.

Alongside the buildings are thought-provoking public art displays.

Join Free Tours by Foot on this fun and engaging walk through Chicago's North Loop. Learn about how the Great Fire of 1871 started and marvel at the modern city that rose upon the ashes of the old.

See North Loop gems like the iconic Chicago Theatre marquee or the Louis C. Tiffany mosaic that is hidden in plain sight!

Take a selfie at the start of the legendary Route 66.

This tour ends in Millennium Park, Chicago’s still new and much loved public park.
