Chicago Black‑history tours

Choose Chicago published a new blog post on March 18, 2026 that highlights specific Black‑history tour operators — naming Chicago Mahogany Tours, The Black Foodies, Gone Again Travel & Tours and Pullman National Historical Park as featured options. (choosechicago.com)) Chicago Mahogany Tours is led by Shermann “Dilla” Thomas, an Emmy‑winning urban historian who built a social audience on TikTok (about 122K followers on his account) and runs neighborhood bus tours such as a two‑hour Bronzeville tour listed at roughly $45. (chicagomahogany.com)) The Black Foodies are a husband‑and‑wife duo, Dino and Coretta Dean, who operate the Taste & Tour Chicago culinary bus experiences that have repeatedly sold out and are promoted via Eventbrite and their TikTok channel with dates into 2026. (chicago.suntimes.com)) Gone Again Travel & Tours, founded roughly 25–26 years ago and based in the Austin neighborhood, markets Black‑heritage travel and runs the Chi‑Town Soul Trolley restaurant‑and‑history tours from its storefront office. (choosechicago.com)) Pullman National Historical Park is presented as an anchor tour site: it’s Chicago’s only National Park Service unit with a visitor center at 610 E. 111th Street, offers free short ranger‑guided tours seasonally, and is tied in Choose Chicago’s coverage to the 1925 founding of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. (choosechicago.com)) Choose Chicago’s online guides also point tour visitors to the DuSable Black History Museum — described on the site as the nation’s first independent African‑American museum with a collection of more than 15,000 objects — as a frequent departure or anchor location for several of the recommended itineraries.
