Art Institute of Chicago Skip-the-Line Tour
2.5 hour guided Museum Tours
Chicago city tours celebrate art, architecture and soul. The bold architecture and stunning skyline of this self-described ‘urban art museum’ features legendary artwork and sculptures from Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Kapoor. Our guided tours of the museums and galleries in the windy city will leave you breathless.
Very knowledgeable and passionate guide, very pleasant experience. Learnt so much during this tour, highly recommend it

Heath was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and kept the tour moving. We saw a lot in 21/2 hours. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys art! So much better than just walking through on your own or doing the audio tour!

Spiro was an excellent guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and also very accommodating to take people to see specific things they’d like to see even if it’s not on the planned tour.

Heath gave an incredible tour of the Art Institute. Entertaining without being cheesy. Expertly balanced the depth on individual pieces & artists while allowing time to hit all major aspects of the Museum. Gave us a deeper appreciation of art and the Art Institute.

Spiro (and hence the tour) was wonderful beyond belief. Words fail me. He was incredibly knowledgeable, articulate, charming and engaging. The time flew. And the Art Institute more than lived up to its reputation. After the tour ended we spent another 2 hours (!) wandering around the museum.

Great tour, Spiro was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. If you want to see the best of the Art Institute and learn not only the history but also some context about the period of time then you will thoroughly enjoy this tour. Obviously we lucked out by having Spiro guide us around but try to go on his tour if possible.

Mandy was awesome! She did a great job and was very flexible for members of the group that had to leave the tour early. She is so knowledgeable about the art and the museum.

Mandie introduced us to the Art Institute of Chicago and gave us an awesome overview of everything available to see at this amazing place. The collection is truly world class, bar none!!!She is so knowledgeable and was very interested in customizing the tour to the likes of the people in the tour group. So very worth the cost of the tour! We learned a lot about the history of Chicago, as well as about the art. Thank you, Mandie, well done!
