Tour Options

When you reserve your private guided tour of Chicago by car, you'll have various different options. Whichever option you choose, we'll meet at the scheduled time at the entrance of your hotel, where the tour will also end.

3-Hour Tour of the Centre & South

If you choose this option, we'll explore the central and southern areas of the city over the course of three hours. The tour will begin with the Chicago Loop, one of the most lively areas of the city, where we'll admire the impressive 19th, 20th and 21st-century architecture.

Then, we'll cross the river to stroll through three of Chicago's most emblematic parks: Grant Park, Maggie Daley Park and the famous Millenium Park. Next, you'll walk to the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, considered one of the most important art museums in the world, where your tour will take a break to enjoy the museum's exhibitions featuring maestros like Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Dalí and Picasso.

Your guide will also introduce you to Museum Campus, a 57-acre museum park near Lake Michigan, where you'll find the Museum of Natural History, Alder Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, among many other interesting cultural sites.

The last stops on your private tour will be the emblematic Navy Pier as well as a walk through the beautiful Hyde Park neighborhood, before heading back to your hotel.

3-Hour Tour of the Centre & North

Do you want to explore the centre and the north of Chicago? This is the tour for you! We'll explore State Street, admire the Holy Name Cathedral and we'll see the most vibrant areas of the city, filled with bars and boutique shops.

The Gold Coast mansions opposite Lake Michigan, the popular Oak beach, the historic Old Town neighbourhood, Lincoln Park and the districts of Lakeview, Boystown and Up Town are just some of the sites we'll explore.

4-Hour Tour of the Centre

On this option we'll focus on the North of Chicago, taking a total of 4 hours to visit it. Highlights include the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, the elegant Evanston neighbourhood that is home to Northwestern University, and the Baháʼí House of Worship in Wilmette. Don't miss out!

5-Hour Tour of the Centre, North & South

Want even more time to explore? If three hours is just not enough, this five-hour private tour is the perfect choice for you. In addition to all of the places and monuments in the three-hour tour, you'll have two extra hours to get to know the northern parts of the city. Ready for an adventure?

On this route through Chicago, your guide will also lead you north on State Street to see the epic Holy Name Cathedral. Continuing on, you'll visit hotspots like the Chicago Water Tower, the Astor Street District, the Lakeview area, and the famous Oak Street Beach on the shore of Lake Michigan. Your group will also wander through the streets of Boystown, Chicago's vibrant LGTBI+ neighbourhood, as well as Lincoln Park. If you want to see it all, this is the tour for you!
