Private Chicago Tours
Just you and your family and friends is the most convenient way to tour
Our Chicago bus tour picks you up and drops you off at your hotel or anywhere else in downtown Chicago. At the end of the tour, we can drop you off pretty much anywhere, too. Want to finish at Millennium Park? Fine. The Willis Tower? Sure. The Art Institute of Chicago?, no problem.
Our other tours pick you up, but even then, you generally have to ride around to several more hotels while we pick up the others on your tour. With our private tour, we pick you up and away you go!
When you are touring with others, you’re usually expected to be quiet and respectful of them. On a private tour, you can let loose, tell inside jokes, laugh and just be silly.
Bottom line, you can HAVE MORE FUN!
As for the tour itinerary, you can either leave that up to us, or we can focus on the things that YOU want to see. Private tours are, of course, fully customizable.

FAQs
How long are the tours? Our Chicago mini bus tour is two hours. The combination with the bus and Chicago River Architecture boat tour about 3.5-4 hours.).
Will there definitely be seats for us? Yes. Several of our competitors over-sell their tours, so that sometimes there are seats, sometimes not. Once you reserve with us, your seats will be yours for the entire tour. Also, our seats are nice and plush. Not plastic seats or wooden benches.
Can we take lots of photos? Absolutely. While you can take pics throughout the tour, we have 3 (sometimes 4) photo stops. They are located in the best places to get the most amazing pictures of Chicago.
Are Your Tour Guides Experienced? Our guides are all very experienced and knowledgeable about Chicago”.
How does the architecture boat tour portion work? At the end of your mini bus tour, we will take you to the boat tour dock. The boat tours leave about every 30-45 minutes and you can use your tickets at any time, even on a different day. Let’s say that it is raining or too hot (or both), you have the option to wait until a better time to ride the boat.
