History & Heritage Tours
Hear Chicago’s stories from the river and sky. Join us for an easygoing journey through the heart of the city, where every skyscraper and bridge has a tale to tell.
The Storytellers
Captain Mike
A lifelong Chicagoan, Mike knows the river like the back of his hand. He loves sharing stories about the city's comeback after the fire with a casual, easygoing vibe.
Sky Sarah
Sarah grew up staring at the Willis Tower from her bedroom window. Now a pilot, she combines her passion for flight with incredible anecdotes about Chicago's architectural boom.
Uncle Dave
Dave is a history buff who keeps things light. He's got a story for every bridge in the city and values a friendly, easygoing chat over a stuffy lecture any day.
Chicago Through the Eras
Great Chicago Fire
Things got a little too hot in 1871, but honestly, it was the ultimate reset button for our skyline.
Architecture Boom
We basically invented the skyscraper because, well, we just wanted to see the lake from higher up.
Riverfront Revival
We flipped the river's flow and then decided to turn the banks into the city's best backyard party.
