Had friends in from out of town. Chose this tour because we all lived the movie. Great tour guide. Really knew a lot about the art and the film.

I really enjoyed the Ferris Bueller tour at the Art Institute! I am a long-time museum member but this was a unique experience, linking specific works of art to scenes in the movie. The multi-media (iPad) was hugely helpful, especially since I hadn't seen the movie in a very long time. I loved hearing all the behind-the-scenes tidbits from Kelli and actually watched the movie on Netflix later that night!
