About this experience
Meet your Tour Guide SuperDan on the Chicago Riverwalk at The Northman Beer & Cider Garden, and SuperDan will lead you West all the way to Wolf Point — the western end of the Riverwalk. Along the way, you'll take in the architecture and history the Riverwalk has to offer, plus stories typically left out of large tour operators' scripts, including:
- The Battle of Fort Dearborn (the American soldiers and settlers lost)
- The S.S. Eastland Disaster (more passengers perished than on the Titanic)
- The Levee District (the largest red-light district in human history)
- The Haymarket Riot (the first use of dynamite in a domestic terrorist incident)
- Chicago's First Murder (Perpetrator: John Kinzie, the Owner of Chicago, for whom Kinzie Street is named)
Your guide SuperDan holds a Master's degree in real estate from DePaul University's business school and has spent 3 years as an architecture and history guide on the Chicago River tourist boats.
