I highly recommend Babylon Tours. I had a private, solo tour of the Chicago Art Institute with Andrea. She is a walking Wikipedia! There’s so much to see and the Institute is so big I was grateful to have Andrea guide me to the highlights. I would highly recommend this company and Andrea in the Windy City!
