Chicago is known for its impressive skyline and historic architecture. This small-group minibus tour covers the city's key sights over about two hours. The tour travels by air-conditioned minibus with no more than 13 passengers, providing a more personal setting. The route includes stops at notable places such as The Rookery, one of the earliest skyscrapers featuring a lobby designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The group spends about 10 minutes here. Another 10-minute stop is at Buckingham Fountain, a large fountain active May through October. When the fountain is off in colder months, the tour stops at Lincoln Park, a 1,600-acre green space with gardens, sculptures, and the Lincoln Park Zoo. The Museum Campus stop offers a 10-minute break for a highly regarded view of Chicago’s skyline. Along the way, the tour passes The Magnificent Mile shopping district, Millennium Park where the group can get out at the end if desired, the Gold Coast neighborhood with its historic homes and nightlife, The Art Institute of Chicago known for its collection of French impressionist paintings, and several views of Lake Michigan’s shoreline. The guide provides historical and sometimes humorous commentary throughout the trip. Four photo stops are included. Infants under four years must sit on a lap.
