I believe at least one of them you get a tour of, Revolution brewery was the one we got to tour. Our guide Ted was awesome, he gave us some history on the places we were going to visit along with some local Chicago history during the ride. The location were kept a surprise ahead of time so we didn't know where we were going until we got there. They do have a rotation of different breweries they tour so if you decided to go again you could possibly explore some new spots the next time around. The coolest part about the tour is the bus itself, just checkout the pictures. The seating layout makes for great interaction with the rest of the people on the tour. I happened to find out about The Barrel Run when I was looking up Chicago tours on YouTube & came across some video a couple named kovACTION made about 3 months ago. Right after watching that I knew I had to fit this in my schedule when I was in town.

10 Stars! Went on the Sin & Suds Beer Tour and our tour guide Vince was great. He was friendly,…read moreextremely knowledgable, funny, enthusiastic and someone who had a passion for beers and Chicago. He gave us an education on beer and what to look for, a mini-architectural tour on the walk between bars and lots of stories about the sinful past of Chicago, especially during prohibition. My favorite story was about Gentle Annie Stafford and how she got her man to put a ring on it. ;) We went to four bars, we were provided with several generous shares of beer at each location, each one different and tasty. What I enjoyed about these types of tours, is a local guide takes you to places that locals go to, I wouldn't know to come to these bars otherwise. What makes it even more enjoyable is that you get to meet other people, we had a bachelor party and a few couples on our tour and it was fun meeting new people, sharing a beer and was provided a slice of Chicago style pizza at our last beer stop. Well worth the time and money for both beer enthusiasts and we even had a non-drinker on the tour for a tag-along. Be sure to dress for the weather and wear comfy shoes, in total we walked about an easy 1.5 miles. Ask for Vince, he knows his stuff and ask him about the Bruce Willis Tower ;).

Our guide, Eric, was fabulous. Being a high school history teacher was a big plus in his knowledge and exciting presentation. Only ten people are on a tour, so the group is intimate and easy to get through the old buildings. You buy your own drinks at the bars, or don't drink at all. There is no food. We had a good time learning some history of Prohibition. As fun and something touristy to do, this event is a bit cheesy, Hubby wanted me to add. We laughed. It was fun.

It was a bit windy but overall good! Let me tell you tho, at one point the chair pillows all the way up top flew off and tumbled into the water. It made a splash! A view and a show! Beautiful view, not to rocky or anything and just all around beautiful view of navy pier/ Chicago! I enjoyed my time and the food was solid. It was buffet style and a good variety. The vegetarian options were decent as well. I think the main course was better than the dessert. The dessert was lacking. Overall would go, I'm curious to see how packed it would be on a different date.

Love them all. There's lots of space to dance and lots of people to get friendly with. Need to go one more time before it gets too cold out. Prices are a little steep, but depends on how much you plan to drink... Bacardi/coke is $12? not sure, it's not like I'm there to fall overboard, it's a good time. That's all that matters. you're on a boat in Lake Michigan, enjoying the beautiful skyline, great company and it's perfectly ok to spend a few extra $$ to enjoy yourself. Oh yeah, if you think you'll be sitting all night, visit the lower levels... should be plenty of space down there. If you plan on moving, get to the top and stand up!

Then you go to the game and after the game come back to the bus and drink for another 2 hours until you get back to Old Town Social. You can then go in the bar and get 1 more free beer.

We had four people in our tour group which made for a wonderfully personal tour and we were able to ask plenty of questions. Our main guide Lauren was very informed and had great information and stories that weren't the cliche bus tour kind of facts. It was great to get to meet the general managers of several of the pizzerias and not have to fight through the bustling crowds to get your food. Kevin and Lauren share a passion for both pizza and the city of Chicago. We went on this tour early in our trip and learned of dozens of little places to see during the rest of our stay. The best way I can describe this is getting the inside look inside of Chicago pizza and culture from a local couple who quickly make you feel welcome and at ease as you experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of Chicago.

We felt that the tour needed more material about pizza, history, Chicago, restaurants, etc. We weren't convinced our tour guide had a lot to work with and they needed to fill time. For example: a "clever" story about the Marina Towers and pizza seemed more like a planned attempt at filling time than information about pizza and Chicago. 4. We enjoyed the cameradie among the people on the tour and thought Gabe did a nice job of encouraging interaction. Overall do we think it is worth the full price ($40)? Nope. Do we feel it was worth the group-on price ($20 ea.)? Not really. Not enough material both pizza and information wise.

Every stop felt intentional, and we learned so much about the neighborhood while tasting an amazing variety of dishes we might never have tried on our own. What truly set this tour apart was our guide's warmth and kindness. He were personable, engaging, and made everyone in the group feel welcome from the very beginning. It felt less like a scripted tour and more like being shown around by a friend who genuinely loves Chinatown and wants to share it with others. The pacing was perfect, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was both fun and enriching. I would highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors alike. It is a fantastic way to experience Chinatown through food, culture, and community.
