Best of Chicago: Architecture & Highlights City Private Tour
Get the best of Chicago with a local guide on this walking tour featuring the city’s best neighborhoods, top attractions, and the Chicago ‘L’!
We’ll start by exploring the Chicago Loop, home to an array of mind-blowing architecture. See the Willis Tower, Union Station just across the river, and admire the Beaux-Arts beauty of the Art Institute of Chicago. No downtown Chicago experience is complete without a stop at Millennium Park’s Cloud Gate, AKA The Bean.
We’ll then head north to stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk before exploring the River North neighborhood, home of the iconic Wrigley Building.
Over in the Magnificent Mile district, grab post-tour tickets for the Museum of Contemporary Art or brave the 94 floors up to 360 CHICAGO observation deck. End your tour here or nearby in the attraction- and entertainment-filled Navy Pier.
