“Well worth it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2012

We really enjoyed this tour. The driver and guide were both excellent and very understanding given that we had a 9 month old along for the ride. Tour hits all of the major spots and can be customized to whatever you are interested in. Great, low stress, and informative way to see the city. More

We used Chicago Private Tours for an extended tour of Chicago, and we were treated like royalty all day long! We had never visited Chicago so we were at the mercy of the driver and guide to show us the sights. They picked us up at the airport and made the day pleasant and stress free. They exceeded all of...

My wife and I have been to Chicago many times and have explored the city on our own but this tour took us to some familiar places where we found out things that we didn't know and to new places that we will visit again. The tour was nice and our driver and guide very accommodating. I highly recommend this... More
