Chicago – Your kind of town

Chicago – synonymous with skyscrapers, Hemmingway, Frank Lloyd-Wright, Al Capone and all that jazz – is a great place to explore on foot. Ramblers Worldwide Holidays have created a series of special walks including a tour of historic skyscrapers with a local guide;’ an off-beat tour of ‘Gangster Chicago’, which harks back to the days of the mob, the St Valentine’s Day Massacre and speakeasies.

And, with something more aesthetically appealing, visits to The Art Institute of Chicago (one of the World’s greatest art galleries) and a choice of 30 fabulous museums.

Other highlights include, ‘the shop till you drop’ magnificent Mile of Michigan Avenue;’ the great skyscraper canyon of the Chicago River, Lincoln Park and a day trip to the waterfalls and canyons of Starved Rock State Park.

All this incused with a great choice of food from Mexican to Polish often with the strains of Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters in the background.

Price from £1,262 per person includes flights, transfers, breakfasts and five dinners and the services of a tour leader.
