Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours 
Chicago is known around the world for its architectural feats, both inside and outside of the buildings. From the 100-year-old Art Deco, Neo-Classical, and Gothic Towers, to some of the tallest modern-day skyscrapers, Chicago is where old meets futuristic architectural endeavors. It has something for everyone in a way that no other city replicates today.

Dinner reservation at Bellemore
Enjoy the cuisine of Chef Jimmy Papadopoulos as he celebrates his two great loves: people and food. In modern brasserie décor taste the freshest, highest quality ingredients.

Day 2:
Frank Lloyd Wright Tour
This 3-4 hour tour includes transportation and tickets to Oak Park, IL to visit both FLW’s Home & Studio and ~20 other homes he designed in the surrounding neighborhood. 
Rest of the day at leisure to explore Millennium Park.
‘The Bean,’ officially known as Cloud Gate, is a beautiful piece of public art that you’ve probably seen in Instagram photos. You will also find climbing walls, gardens, a skating ribbon open winter and summer (for ice skating and rollerblading). Hide in this quaint area surrounded in foliage – stuck between the tennis courts and Cancer Survivors’ Garden – and watch the sun set behind the skyline.

Dinner reservation at The Signature Room
Best view of the city, best cocktails, lobsters, roasted chickens….

Day 3
3 hour private foodie tour
The Fulton Market food tour will take you on a historical tour, how an industrial district, shifted from a place of production of appliances, furniture and meat products to a hub of consumption of food and drink. This neighborhood walking tour is a one-mile jaunt through a neighborhood defined by change.
You will sample some of the culinary delights of Fulton Market without feeling overstuffed. You’ll get to taste artisanal deli meats from Publican Quality Meats and half of the signature sub at J.P. Graziano, a family-owned shop in its third generation. The neighborhood tour finishes with pickles and a craft beer sample at Haymarket Pub & Brewery. Please keep in mind that this is an educational tour. Other Chicago food tours may focus more on eating, but we will eat a light amount and most of all learn!
Until very recently, Fulton Market was a gritty meatpacking district. You’ll see the historic Fulton Market buildings that housed 19th-century meat and produce vendors. Today, of course, they’re home to an array of high-end restaurants. We’ll discuss how even the streets and sidewalks themselves were designed to aid the often grisly work of butchering and processing meat.
Beyond that, this neighborhood walking tour of Fulton Market will explore just how quickly the neighborhood has changed and gentrified. As recently as the ’80s and ’90s, Fulton Market was home to underground parties, drug busts and low-rent art galleries. Today you will find high-end retailers and headquarters for corporations like Google and McDonald’s.
And how did this all happen?! Your professional tour guide will talk about how the city of Chicago eased the way for all this development over the past 20 years. As we walk through the neighborhood, we will see active demolition and construction. Finally, we’ll discuss the infamous Haymarket Affair and labor history with drinks and snacks at the eponymous brewpub.

 Evening Private Jazz and blues Tour
This 3-4 hour tour provides transportation and guide!  You will visit  2-3 live music venues, as well as a few stops for ideal City Lights gazing. This tour itinerary is completely customized.
