Chicago City Tours

With L Stop Tours, Explore Chicago's Neighborhoods, Food, Culture and History via the L System

We Explore Chicago's Neighborhoods

Due to COVID-19, L Stop Tours will be offering both walking and train options for our Pilsen, Wicker Park, and Prairie District tours. You can learn more by visiting our Chicago Walking Tours page.

At L Stop Tours, we believe you haven’t seen the city until you’ve taken one of our Chicago city tours — and what better way to get there than by elevated train! From our tours of historic neighborhoods such as the Chicago Prairie District to the colorful street murals and delicious cuisine available on our Pilsen Chicago neighborhood adventure, L Stop offers experiences that are perfect for both tourists and locals.

Our Chicago city tours are fun, efficient and provide a perspective of the city that you won’t get from other Chicago walking tours. We ride the train to diverse neighborhoods and explore interesting sites in the vicinity of L stops.

What I really like about L Stop Tours is that you get to see many different neighborhoods. Outside the loop, we explored the West Loop and two different sections of Pilsen, which all felt totally different and unique.”
