Afternoon City Tour
We were with Matt as our guide and Vic as our driver. Matt’s love for Chicago is apparent in how he goes about his work…more than willing to answer any and all questions, consistently checking in to see if we were ok, and even giving my fiance a hard time for being a Packers fan. Despite heavy traffic from Lalapalooza, we were able to see the Bean, Navy Pier, stopped for some drinks and had an overall wonderful time. Would suggest for anyone who wants to have a personalized experience in Chicago and who wants a guide that really cares that you have a wonderful time.

Phenomenal!
Matt & Vic were sensational! Knowledgeable, humorous, down-to-earth and truly loved their city. They were on time, picked us up at our hotel and showed us all the site we wanted to see and so much more. Kind and compassionate assisting me with my walker. They told us some fascinating stories and interesting facts about Chicago . We learned so much and truly enjoyed every minute! I Highly recommend Viator and our hosts Matt and Vic. Book them now if you’re planning trip to Chicago. You won’t regret it😊

Excellent experience
An excellent experience from start to finish. We were collected from our downtown hotel and driven around the city with Todd as our guide. Todd was extremely knowledgeable and told us all about the history and architecture of the city as we travelled around in comfort. We stopped at a few different places where we got out and walked around and took photos. Highly recommend this tour.

Our family had a wonderful experience on our private tour of Chicago. From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-coordinated! Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive to every detail, and so was the driver! The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the route offered a great balance of iconic landmarks, scenic views, and lesser-known local gems. An awesome way to experience Chicago as a family — highly recommended!
