Tour Time

Well, you know that warmer weather is coming when Chicago Tour Companies start running their seasonal tours. There are several choices to suit each of your individual needs. Lets start with land….. See it All Tours does a great 2 hour City Tour. They run 10am & 1pm. They will pick you up here at the Knickerbocker Hotel entrance and bring you back as well. This tour will go through the city as well as the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and a final stop at Wrigley for a photo opportunity. Also, the Double Decker Hop on Hop off, does the same thing. But, city only and you can ride it all day; see us at the Concierge Desk for a Discount and Booking. I Love Absolutely Segway Tours! You will have a guided tour on the Lakefront & Museum Campus. These guys do a great job and have the best prices. You can also try a walking tour. Chicago Detour offer Walking Tours of the Loop area. The Architectural Foundation offers walking Art Deco & Skyscrapers walking tours as well. Don’t forget Frank Llyod Wright Tours, too! Be sure to not miss out on the Wrigley Field tours while you are in town. Wrigley Field is the second oldest baseball field in the United States. Water Tours Galore…… I will start with my favorites first! Chicago Line does Architectural & Historical River Cruises, as does the Architectural Foundation. Both tours are 90 minutes and need to be booked in advance, as they do sell out. Then we have our beautiful Lake Michigan boat tours. Everything from dinner cruises to sightseeing. The most fun is the Sea Dog, it is a huge speed boat that cruises out on the lake at fast speeds. On the other side there is the Tall Ship Windy which is a huge Sail boat that does a pirate theme for 2 hours, I love this one and for the photo opportunities. Last but not least The Odyssey, Spirit, and Mystic Blue do the Lunch & Dinner cruises. These are great for Singles and Couples alike, from fun and loud to romantic for the love birds out there. Please call me and I will be happy to fill you in. I could go on and on about the tours offered in my fine city of Chicago.
