On this private holiday tour for 2-15 guests, your guests will experience classic Chicago holiday traditions and hear their forgotten histories. You won't get too cold on this walking tour as we’ll venture into a few warm locales and stay inside more than half the time. 

Chicago Detours award-winning tour guides will lead this experience with their expertise and engaging stories. You'll see the top holiday highlights, and hear some inside stories on this holiday lights tour! Hear of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’s birth in Chicago, or about how Mayor Richard J.
