Brian from Off Beat Art guided us (suburban Chicagoans) through a unique experience of Chicago. Brian’s knowledge of Chicago history, architecture, and street art was interesting, not a lecture. Our 13 year old dreaded it the tour, but actually loved it. “Like a museum but not boring.” Tour ended with watching artists creating new work- amazing to see their techniques! Having just seen the Handmaids Tale Chicago episodes the tour was absolutely chilling.
Since the tour we’ve begun following the artists online and continue to enjoy Chicago street art. Will definitely take other tours and recommend to friends. Completely outdoor tour featured 2 mile walk over 2 hours. Great restaurants and shopping afterwards. Plenty of stops for hydration and restrooms as needed. Organizers are happy to accommodate special needs, schedules, etc.
