Chicago’s west neighborhoods are home to an array of cultures. On this specific Chicago trolley tour, you’ll pay a visit to three distinct neighborhoods: Chinatown, Little Italy, and Greektown. Each neighborhood has its own unique shops, restaurants, and businesses that give you a taste of the city’s diverse heritage – literally and figuratively.

Your Chicago West Neighborhoods tour begins at Millennium Park, where you’ll meet your group and professional guide. After exploring the park and taking a photo in front of the legume-shaped sculpture appropriately called The Bean, you’ll make your way to Chinatown. Once there, you can do some shopping and haggle with the local shopkeepers. If you prefer sightseeing, swing by Ping Tom Memorial Park and take a stroll through the Chinese Gardens or stop by the Chinatown Mural to learn all about Chinese immigrant history in the U.S.

Little Italy is your next stop. Although the area is filled with great Italian restaurants, the main attractions here are the old Catholic churches of Holy Guardian Angel and Our Lady of Pompeii. These churches were home to some of the first Italian congregations in the city. After your time in Little Italy, you will finish your Chicago tour in Greektown. Formed in the 1800s by Greek immigrants, the area has since turned into a nightlife district, but Greek festivals and other community events continue to be hosted throughout the year to celebrate the neighborhood’s long history.

See a different side of the city on this Chicago Chinatown tour that includes Little Italy and Greektown. You’ll open your eyes to the importance of these cultures and their influence on the formation of the city around them, as well as learn about immigrant life in the U.S. This is an informative and fun way to experience Chicago.
