Free Chicago Walking Tours has been delivering exceptional tours to guests since 2015. We're the only locally-owned and operated pay-what-your-want tour company in Chicago. Here is what makes our tours and company so special.
Cost. One of the most obvious reasons is cost. Free Chicago Walking Tours is a great option for budget-conscious travelers who want to experience Chicago without breaking the bank. Instead of paying a high fee for a guided tour, our model allow you to see the city and learn about its history and culture for free.
Local knowledge. Free Chicago Walking Tours are led by local guides who have an intimate knowledge of Chicago and its neighborhoods. Our guides can provide insider tips on the best restaurants, shops, and attractions to visit, and they can offer a unique perspective on Chicago's history and culture.
Community building. We have designed our tours to foster a sense of community among travelers. They offer the opportunity to meet and interact with other travelers who share your interests and love of travel. This can lead to new friendships, travel tips, and even future travel companions.
Free Chicago Walking Tours operates a "pay what you want" tour model. This means that the tours are free to join, but at the end of the tour, participants are encouraged to leave a voluntary contribution or tip for the guide based on their level of satisfaction with the tour. The average tip per guest is between $15 - $25 for a 2-hour tour experience.
