Scout brings abundant spirit and knowledge to her work as guide.
Our guide, Scout, brought enthusiasm, expertise, and high energy to our tour. She was patient with those of us needing elevators and rest benches. I enjoyed her attention to artist composition and technique choices across periods. She provided a well considered progression across periods and key representative paintings. This was a memorable experience that will prompt further reading and learning for me. Thank you Scout!

Highly recommend! For 1st timers & repeat visits!
Amazing experience! Our tour guide Mark had the best energy and was so knowledgeable and thoughtful. We had a great time!! I will say I was a little curious if I was going to enjoy it as it was my third time going to the museum (first two times were self guided) and I would 10/10 recommend going with a guide even if you already been before! It was my partners first time at the Art Institute and he was blown away with how much art and history we saw! Thanks again Mark!

Your 10/10 recommendation for both first-timers and repeat visitors is exactly the kind of endorsement we treasure. Feedback like yours is what drives us to keep delivering great experiences. We hope to welcome you both back again soon!

A Tour to Remember.
Michelle was our guide and she was amazing. She took us on a walk that showed not on the history of art evolution, but how each generations of artists took the different styles and advance them through their own skills, vision and talent. I would tell everybody that the best way to see the Art Institute is with a tour guide.

We couldn't agree more that a great guide is the best way to experience the museum! Comments like yours are the reason we love what we do. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Great tour with our guide Arnold
We had an enjoyable, educational and fun experience. Time flew by as our wonderful, approachable and very professional guide Arnold led us through the museum. We saw the "highlights" that are among the most popular works of art, and learned so much. We arrived during a rainstorm. Arnold made sure everyone could check their wet umbrella and jackets before starting the tour.

Incredible museum not to be missed
The Art Institute has an incredible collection of paintings and see it on your own seems daunting. We were fortunate to have Brian as our guide; his vast knowledge was extremely helpful to understand various time periods in art history and how different painters influenced each other. You probably need a week to go through the whole museum, but the 2 hours we spent with Brian were well worth it!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Liviu! We're thrilled to hear that Brian's vast knowledge helped make sense of the Art Institute's incredible collection. You're absolutely right you could spend a week there and still not see everything, but we're so glad those two hours with Brian were well worth it! Feedback like yours is what drives us to keep delivering great experiences. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

The Highlight of our Trip to Chicago
We were so pleased with our tour with Joe at the Art Institute of Chicago. Those two hours were the highlight of our trip to Chicago.
Joe was terrific! It was a mixed group – four adults of various ages, two teens, and an 11 year old. Joe connected with each one of us on our different levels and explained the works we saw both specifically and in the larger context of art history and Chicago.
We learned a lot and were inspired by the art and awed by its beauty.
We can’t thank Chicago Museum Tours (and Joe)enough, and we hope that we will be able to enjoy more of Chicago with Chicago Museum Tours on our next visit.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Mark! The highlight of your trip to Chicago — that truly means everything to us! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Joe connected so beautifully with every member of your group — from the adults to the teens and your 11 year old — while bringing both the specific artworks and the broader context of art history and Chicago to life so vividly. That ability to engage guests of all ages and levels is a real gift. At Chicago Museum Tours, we're incredibly proud to have Joe on our team, and we very much look forward to welcoming your family back on your next visit to Chicago!
