Chicago Detours
    |
Explore stories and places locals don't even know with our guided tours of architecture, history and culture. We specialize in the design of fun, educational and creative architectural and historic tours for public and private groups. Our Chicago tours include expert guide commentary, use of multimedia (shared iPads for walking tours, video screens for bus tours), and gifts.
Current historical and architectural walking tours for the public are "Inside the Loop," an indoor tour of interior architecture and the underground Pedway system, and "Good Times Historic Bar Tour," a fun, food-filled exploration of entertainment history. Our private group tours, such as for corporate team-building, family reunions, and educational groups, range from the "Jazz, Blues, and Beyond Tour by Bus" to custom experiences like "From Cuts to Cult: Chicago Meat History Past to Present."
Founded in 2010 by Amanda Scotese, who worked for several years as a tour guide and guidebook researcher with PBS travel guru Rick Steves, a tour company with a team of educators, historians, artists and storytellers.
