The Christmas Tree Crawl Experience Chicago at the Holidays

The Christmas Tree Crawl Experience Chicago at the Holidays

Overview

On this nostalgic and educational tour, we will lead you on a "Christmas treasure hunt" through downtown Chicago in search of the most stunning and impressive Christmas trees and other holiday decorations — and we know where they are! This tour includes not only visits to well-known stops like the Christkindlmarkt and the old Marshall Field’s, but also to little-known stops that contain some of the best holiday decorations downtown. You’ll learn about the origins of some world-famous Christmas characters — some of them from Chicago, some not — as well as the history behind Christmas traditions practiced by people around the world.

I just completed the virtual Christmas Tree Crawl Experience in Chicago! It was marvelous! Hillary Marzec was very informative, entertaining and endearing with her stories of Christmas. She even shared her family with us. Based on the virtual tour, I am determined to be in Chicago for a few days next year to enjoy all the city has to offer. A big "thank you" to Hillary; I hope to meet you in person in 2022!

Just a wonderful presentation, great memories and facts, simply an entertaining and learning experience. And after the last year or so, it knocked some of the Grinch out of me. Hillary does a terrific job. I highly recommend one of her tours.

This was a virtual tour online. It was wonderfully led by Hillary Marzec, a warm, engaging, and very knowledgeable tour guide. I grew up in Chicago and I had high expectations. Her virtual Christmas tour did not disappoint plus I learned many things I did not know, like the fact that the wildly popular Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was the creation of the Montgomery Wards Department Store in Chicago! I don't think Hillary missed a thing. The time flew by. Highly recommend if you are going to Chicago and want ideas of things to see this time of year, and -- when Covid is finally over -- a real tour, which we hope to do in a few months when we visit the city.
