Two private tours for a group of 17. We covered downtown and north of Chicago one day, and Southside another morning. Mike & Matt were terrific; personable, knowledgeable, charming, funny, couldn't have asked for better tour guides. If they didn't know or weren't sure about something that we were asking about, they looked it up. A great opportunity to see... More

I took a brother and sis-in-law to Chicago in early May 2013 for two days. None of us had done a tour of the Windy City previously. In a search for a private tour, I found Chicago Private Tours, read excellent Trip Advisor reviews of their tours and decided to give them a try. Was I ever glad I did.... More

We recently visited Chicago for a couple of days and wanted to get a feel for the city quickly so decided to take a private tour. We had recently visited New York and had taken the public open top bus tours and had been very cold so decided to spoil ourselves and pay that bit more for a private tour.... More

We had a 9 hour layover in Chicago on our way to Washington, DC. My mother had never been to Chicago before and because of our limited time, we decided to book a private tour. TJ picked us up at the airport in a very comfortable mini-van with a panoramic sunroof. Once we arrived in City Centre, Mike joined us... More

Local guides Matt and driver TJ made our day with a super fun tour of Chicago. We could have driven around all day with these guys - I was so happy we were with them and not out in the cold trying to figure it out on our own. Chicago is an awesome city, and these guys know how to... More

We saw and learned so much!! Could have never accomplished this much on our own! Plus, it was great fun with Matt... More
