Fun and educational - I enjoyed this tour immensely! Bernie was very thorough- I learned much more about Chicago than I expected! The history was brought to life with relevant and often humorous stories. I highly recommend Chicago Museum Tours for anyone interested in learning Chicago history.

- Decided to sign up at the last minute for the tour and very glad I did. It was a great experience. The museum itself was one of the best ones in Chicago. And our tour guide was great. Small group so that was nice. And he was very knowledgable about Chicago, funny, and had answers to all the questions from our group. He was a Chicago native so he knew the city really well. I would highly recommend taking a tour with him. This is the best way to experience all museums in Chicago.

A perfect way to kick off a visit the Chicago - This was an excellent and informative tour. Not only were we guided through the highlights of the Chicago History Museum, but we also enjoyed an insider’s view of some of the highlights of Michigan Avenue.
Tour guide, Bernie, knew his stuff and imparted a text books’ worth of knowledge in a concise and entertaining way.
A side benefit was a hands-on tutorial on how to navigate the shining city via public transit.
