Description

Chicago sits along the Great Lakes shoreline in the heart of America’s Midwest, blending bold architecture, public art, and a jazz-and-blues heritage that has shaped its character. This private half-day tour introduces you to the city’s most iconic landmarks as your local guide shares the stories behind Chicago’s many nicknames, from the Windy City to the City of Broad Shoulders.

Your experience begins at Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, a celebrated downtown green space known for its accessible design and award-winning public art. Stroll past the historic Chicago Athletic Association hotel before heading to Cloud Gate—better known as “The Bean”—where the skyline curves across its mirrored surface. Continue into the Loop to see the Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza, then cross the DuSable Bridge for classic Chicago River views.

Along the Magnificent Mile, learn how Chicago grew from an 1837 riverside settlement into today’s expansive metropolis. Pass the 1929 Medinah Athletic Club (now the InterContinental Hotel) and the Chicago Water Tower, and step inside the five-story Starbucks Reserve Chicago Roastery. Each stop highlights Chicago’s deep architectural legacy and vibrant contemporary culture.

The tour concludes at the Hancock Tower, where your guide bids you farewell before you ascend to the 360 Chicago Observation Deck. Relax at your own pace and enjoy panoramic views stretching across the lakefront and skyline.
