My visit to the Chicago Art Institute was absolutely wonderful, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Spiro. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the museum and its incredible collection. Spiro went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see, while also sharing fascinating insights and stories that brought the artwork to life. His enthusiasm and expertise made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re visiting the Chicago Art Institute, I highly recommend Babylon Tours!

Arnold was very informative and friendly. Tour was a good overview of the more noteworthy pieces on display. Good value for the amount of information covered.
Our family was riveted from start to finish! Our daughters are 9 and 16 and Arnold kept their interest and attention the whole time! We highly recommend Arnold if you want to learn about the fascinating stories behind the art.

Excellent visit with Arnold. His knowledge and presentation was outstanding
Arnold was absolutely fantastic, answered every question and very insightful. Such a gentlemen and I’m definitely coming back
Spiro was an excellent guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and well informed. Good rapport with group and appealed to all ages. Made the tour interesting and tailored to our group. So much so that my teenager said that he didn’t feel the time going. Really enjoyed the gallery experience and I would highly recommend.
