What if it rains?
Tours do run rain or shine. If there's one thing we've learned, it;s that weather forecasts are often unreliable. Chicagoland is huge, so if they predict a shower, it probably won't affect the tour. If a brief shower does occur, we'll provide raingear for the group. In the rare event that a tour is cancelled due to weather, we will allow you to reschedule your tour, subject to availability. You should dress appropriately for the day's weather conditions.
