Amy Bizzarri, Autorin von 111 Orten in Chicago, die Sie nicht verpassen dürfen, nimmt Sie mit auf eine faszinierende, selbst geführte Audiotour zu verborgenen historischen Orten an der vergoldeten Goldküste Chicagos. Schauen Sie hinter die Tore des ursprünglichen Playboy Mansion, spazieren Sie durch eine mit Holz gepflasterte Gasse, schlürfen Sie einen Faster Pussycat in Chicagos ältester Pianobar und genießen Sie einen herrlichen Spaziergang durch die Zeit in diesem exklusiven Viertel von Chicago. Ausgangspunkt ist das Chicago History Museum in der N. Clark Street 1601. Die Tour ist jederzeit bereit und der Ton wird automatisch genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt und am richtigen Ort mit dem GPS Ihres Smartphones und der mobilen VoiceMap-App abgespielt, die auch offline funktioniert.
Während Ihres Aufenthalts im Chicago History Museum sollten Sie sich die neu restaurierten Dioramen ansehen, die den Aufstieg Chicagos von einem trostlosen Grenzposten in die geschäftige Stadt von heute darstellen. Dort finden Sie auch die South Side Elevated Railroad. Es ist die erste Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecke in Chicago und diente als Shuttle für Messebesucher zur Weltausstellung in Kolumbien. Sie können auch das Sterbebett von Abraham Lincoln sehen.
Für alle, die Schüttelfrost haben möchten, bietet das Internationale Museum für Chirurgische Wissenschaften. Die hier gezeigten Exponate beschäftigen sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der östlichen und westlichen Medizin. Das Museum selbst befindet sich in einem Herrenhaus aus dem Jahr 1917, das im Chicagoer Stil das Petit Trianon von Versailles interpretiert.
Ein außergewöhnlicher Abend in Chicago endet immer auf der Pianoseite, wenn Sie in der Zebra Lounge Lemondrops schlürfen und mit dem Pianisten bis in die frühen Morgenstunden singen. Versteckt in der Lobby eines Vintage-Apartmentgebäudes an der glamourösen Goldküste schwingt die Zebra Lounge seit 1929 sieben Nächte in der Woche mit Live-Pianisten.
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.
