Overview of the Tour

 

 

On this tour, you will have the chance to visit the attractions that Chicago is best known for, like the Magnificent Mile, the Loop (the financial district), Streeterville, the Gold Coast, River North, and so much more. Chicago is a city rich with history and iconic monuments, and a private vehicle tour is an excellent way to discover it. On this tour, you will see the fundamentals that you’ve come to Chicago for.

 

Terms & Conditions

  • The passenger must be present at the meeting point within 20 minutes of the scheduled time. After this grace period, we will consider it a no-show, unless we are given prior notice.
  • Please note that the tour begins at the scheduled time, not when the client appears; if a client is late, that time will be counted as tour time.
  • This service has a 100% penalty for cancellation after reservation.
  • Date and time changes will not be allowed after confirmation of purchase. In extremely rare cases, we will change the type of vehicle or driver at the last minute, if the company determines some sort of potential risk, internal or external, for our passengers or in the case of an emergency.
  • For hotel pick-up: most hotels in Chicago do not have loading zones at the entrance, and in many cases, the guide will not be able to find the passenger in the hotel lobby. For this reason, the guide will be waiting for passengers inside or in front of the car. The vehicle can be identified by our company’s logo displayed in the window of the car.
  • If you have trouble locating your driver, please call our on-call phone number: +1 (312) 361-1153, extension 7. This is intended for emergency use and can be used at any time, day or night.
