Art Institute of Chicago Exclusive Guided Tour

Overview

Explore the Art Institute of Chicago first thing in the morning on this small-group art experience. Take in George Seurat’s masterpiece A Sunday on La Grande Jatte and not one but three of Van Gogh’s pieces: The Bedroom, Self Portrait, and The Drinkers.

Your journey into Impressionism continues with the Claude Monet’s mesmerizing artworks such as Stacks of Wheat, Water Lilies, and Water Lily Pond. These pieces come to life as your guide shares the stories behind these iconic paintings.

Visit galleries featuring the works of some of Americas greatest artists, such as Georgia O'Keefe, Edward Hopper, and Jacob Lawrence and the unmissable iconic American Gothic by Grant Wood!

Finally, enjoy the intriguing works of Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. Learn the story behind Picasso's The Old Guitarist before seeing Dalí’s Inventions of the Monsters and the head-scratching Venus de Milo With Drawers statue.

Ok so this tour is not set up yet with the museum. The museum was kind enough to not charge me for additional tickets but basically I got a text from a random number that the tour would start at 11 instead of at 10… I was like ok… tour guide never showed up and none of my calls/texts where answered. You are better off buying the tickets directly at the museum.

Dear Priscila_O, Thanks for your review. We are sorry you did not take your tour Our company had to slightly change the itinerary for the tour to start 1 hour later than what it was originally planned. We had other people that joined the tour guide successfully. If you did not find your group, it could be that you were not at the correct meeting point indicated on your voucher. I have sent you an email regarding your booking. We want to show you how much we care for our guests and get this sorted. If you need anything else from us, you can reply to the email I sent. We will be happy to assist you. Kind regards, Jhonas.
