We loved our tour with Amanda. She was super knowledgeable (and gracious with a difficult man on our tour!) Amanda made the tour fun and highlighted interesting facts about the buildings. 1 1/2 hours was the perfect length in this heat! Highly recommend
Must-See Chicago is a fast-paced, 90-minute introductory tour to Chicago featuring some of its most famous buildings, including the Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, the Art Institute of Chicago, Willis (Sears) Tower and more! Get a brief overview of more than a dozen buildings—as well as Chicago landmarks like Millennium Park, the Loop and the Chicago River—on this whirlwind tour. There are lots of photo opportunities along the way, so be sure to bring your camera!
