Amy Bizzarri, forfatter til 111 steder i Chicago, som du ikke må gå glip af, tager dig med på en fascinerende selv-guidet lydtur på skjulte historiske steder i Chicagos forgyldte guldkyst. Kig bag porten til det originale Playboy Mansion, gå langs en træblokbelagt gyde, nyd en Faster Pussycat i Chicagos ældste pianobar og mere, mens du nyder en dejlig gåtur gennem tiden i dette eksklusive Chicago-kvarter. Udgangspunktet er Chicago History Museum, der ligger på 1601 N. Clark Street. Turen er klar, når du er, og lyden afspilles automatisk på det helt rigtige tidspunkt og sted ved hjælp af din smartphones GPS og VoiceMap-mobilappen, som også fungerer offline.
Mens i Chicago History Museum vil du gerne tjekke de nyligt restaurerede dioramas, der skildrer Chicagos opstigning fra en øde grænse udpost til den travle by i dag. Du finder også South Side Elevated Railroad. Dens den første forhøjede hurtige transitlinje i Chicago og blev brugt til at shoppe fair goers til verdens Columbian Exposition. Du vil også kunne se Abraham Lincolns dødslejet.
For alle, der ønsker at have kuldegysninger, sendes deres rygsøjle, leverer International Museum of Operational Science. Udstillingerne her omhandler forskellige aspekter af østlige og vestlige medicin. Museet selv er beliggende i et 1917 palæ designet som en Chicago-stil fortolkning af Petit Trianon of Versailles.
En fremragende Chicago nat ud på byen slutter altid klaver side, nipper til Lemondrops og synger sammen med klaver mand i de dårlige timer på Zebra Lounge. Skjult i lobbyen af en vintagelejlighed i Glam Gold Coast, har Zebra Lounge svinget med levende klaver spillere syv nætter om ugen siden 1929.
Easy, fun way to see this beautiful, interesting Chicago neighborhood. We loved that the app knew exactly where we were and gave us specific walking directions. We never needed to follow a map. It was like having our own personal tour guide, without needing to tip!
Our casual walk around the neighborhood suddenly became structured and organized with this very informative walking tour. We did it at the time we wanted and at our own pace, and very economically!! We discovered some places we will certainly go back to see with more time! I will look up this practical "tour guide" for other places I intend to visit.
Practical (you start and stop and your own convenience!) and economic way to visit the key things to see in the Gold Coast. Some of the sites could merit a visit in themselves which the virtual guide indicates, however you need to do this tour early enough in the day to be sure that these sights are open.
I discovered some new places to visit, like the Museum of Medical Science, and the Three Arts Building. I also coupled this tour with the Chicago History Museum, which is really cool. Overall, it is a very enjoyable walk, and you can do the tour at your own pace. Beautiful historical homes in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood.
Tour was informative. The use of visitor was klunky. Had to order the tour twice to use. Viator has committed refund one of the unneeded purchases. Walk and auto play needs some work. Price was right.
I wanted to take a walking tour, but in the time of COVID, that didn’t seem possible. Once I discovered this audiotour, I was hooked. I can’t wait to check out more. I’ve already recommended it to everyone I know.
I generally don't like group tours, so having this option is wonderful. It felt like having your own private tour guide. In this time of Covid-19, this gae us a nice way to get out of the house. The Zebra Lounge wasn't open, but just around the corner there was a street closed off to allow for outdoor dining/social distancing. The museum of surgery was open, and we spent time there as well as Restoration Hardware.
I really enjoyed learning the history of the Gold Coast and finding hidden treasures on this tour. The information selected was excellent, from the city's public graveyard and the Couch Mausoleum, which survived the great Chicago fire, to the wood plank street experiment on Astor. Lots of good history of the monarchs that built Chicago during the 19th and 20th Century. I liked how the old and new were integrated with suggestions to stop in the 3 Arts Cafe in the Restoration Hardware store (more like a museum than a store) and a drink in the Zebra Lounge. The GPS tracking lost track of me a couple of times and I had to zoom in on the map and figure out which way to go to continue the tour. This happened twice but I was easily able to turn around and find where I was supposed to be and then the track picked up where it left off. I would allow more than 50 minutes for this tour (the suggested time in the directions). If you want to stop and take a look around a few places I would allow 1.5 hours for this tour. I recommend this tour and know you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
