Description:

Your private tour begins by exploring the historical and architectural highlights of the city. See the John Hancock Building, the Federal Reserve Bank, and many others that make up the rich tapestry of Chicago—home to America’s first skyscraper, Willis Tower.

After learning about the Windy City’s famous skyline, cruise down Lake Shore Drive to admire the waterfront, signature parks, and museums. Discover Chicago’s “Gold Coast” and see luxurious turn-of-the-century estates.

While traveling through the city, listen as your docent shares stories and facts about the events and people that helped form the city of Chicago—from when Native Americans from Fort Dearborn settled in the city and the fire of 1871, to the Haymarket Riot and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Finally, pass the Lincoln Park Zoo as you make your way back to the heart of downtown: Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile.
