Welcome to Chicago during the most wonderful time of the year.

If I could capture everything I love about Chicago during the holidays, including the sparkling lights along Michigan Avenue, the towering trees, the warm festive treats, and the magic of Christkindlmarket, and wrap it all up in a big red bow, this tour is what you’d get.

 

It’s the ultimate way for first-time visitors to fall in love with Chicago’s winter charm. But it’s also a nostalgic, heart-warming way for locals to relive our city’s most cherished Christmas traditions.

 

I can’t wait to share the magic of the season with you.
