BUT WHAT ABOUT WALKING TOURS?!
REST ASSURED, WE MISS GIVING THEM AS MUCH AS YOU MISS TAKING THEM.
Unfortunately, due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently not planning to offer public walking tours in 2020. We're staying hopeful that conditions will change, but only time will tell!
BUT WHY? Having even a medium-sized group stand 6 feet apart on a sidewalk in Chicago is not possible in the majority of neighborhoods where we conduct tours. It would also be hard to hear your tour guide if you were so far away from them! Unfortunately, masks also complicate our guides' ability to project their voices.
WHAT ABOUT REDUCING TOUR CAPACITY? We pride ourselves on offering affordable, pay-what-you-can programming. We want every Chicagoan to be able to afford to learn about their city! However, this model only works with the financial wiggle room of larger group sizes. It would go against our mission to charge sky-high prices for tours only a select few can attend. Instead, we're focusing our energy this season on creating new, equitable educational programming that can be safely accessed by everyone.
WHAT ABOUT PRIVATE TOURS? If you and several of your household members would like to book a private, 5-person tour, we might be able to accommodate you! Email us to inquire about the possibility. Please note that we are working with fewer tour guides this season, so availability is limited.
WHAT WILL YOU DO INSTEAD? We are currently brainstorming a variety of ideas! From self-guided tours, to virtual tours of indoor spaces, to competitive scavenger hunts and trivia, we're exploring all options for the remainder of the year. We're also doing paperwork, planning long-term strategy, self-evaluating, and generally gearing up for the best 2021 ever. Check back here or follow us on Facebook for updates. In the meantime... watch a recorded lecture by clicking a thumbnail below!
