WITH its blockbuster movie skyline, fabulous food options and notorious crime history, Chicago has plenty to enthrall curious city-breakers. And there’s every type of tour led by clued-up locals to whisk travellers straight to the best bits.

The three-hour tour, run by Chicago Food Tours Company and led by a local guide, spreads out across 1.5 miles taking in the very best Mexican drinks and dishes.
For £60 you'll make your own tamales - spicy fillings wrapped in corn dough - sample steak tacos, Mexican pork and irresistible churros dipped in icing sugar and chocolate, all while admiring the many murals inspired by Mexican culture in the neighbourhood.
