Throughout your ride, our drivers serve as informal local guides—sharing stories, history, and local tips at every stop. Please note that drivers are not permitted to enter museums or archaeological areas, but they’ll ensure you make the most of your visit with suggestions and background information before you explore on your own.
Some stops on your itinerary may be closed on the date of travel due to public holidays, maintenance, or special events. We recommend verifying opening hours on the attraction’s official website or contacting us before your tour. If a stop is unexpectedly closed, we will try to offer a suitable alternative or a refund if the tickets are included in the price.
Our tours are fully flexible — you decide which attractions to explore inside and which to admire from the outside. Entrance tickets are not included unless clearly specified as a “tickets included” option in the tour selection. Your driver will adjust the itinerary based on opening hours, availability, and your preferences to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

It’s a 2 hr driving tour that is centered at scenic stops to see the skyline like the Planetarium, the Navy Pier but where you go is pretty customizable - we drove around Old Town and Wrigleyville also . Fun to see at nite Driver was excellent, willing to asjust scenic points and makes suggestions . He is still working on learning more history , but very pleasant
