This private tour fits 2-5 travelers, so it's great for families, couples, or a small group of friends traveling together. The small size lets you see Chicago's architecture at whatever pace works for you - whether that's riding the Brown Line through The Loop or checking out details along the Chicago Riverwalk. You won't be rushed like on bigger tours, so you can spend as much time as you want at places like the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry or the Art Institute of Chicago. Since it's self-guided through the Worldee App Guide, your group decides the timing - take extra time on The Ledge at Willis Tower or ride the elevated trains as many times as you'd like.
