Art Tour Extraordinaire
This was a tour about which songs will be song! Our guide, Spiro, was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and engaging…he even extended the tour slightly to make sure we all got to see what we wanted to see within the museum (for me, that was St. George Slaying the Dragon, which was not part of the tour). I love tours, and I have taken them all over the world, and this one ranks amongst the best!

Spiro is great
The history of the institute is fascinating and would be hard to appreciate without a guide. Having Spiro explain the history made a big difference

The Absolute BEST Tour Guide
My wife and I have traveled the world and experience many tour guides, but none have been as professional and well research well prepared, excellent execution with humor and attention to detail in explaining each piece of art allowing us to be fully immerse from the lens of the artist

Don't miss this tour!!
Spiro was great 👍. Very informative about composition and history. He was able to contour his tour to the things we like while still getting us lots of new information about the artwork. The museum really has a wonderful collection of art.

We loved this tour—we could take it NINE TIMES
We had a fantastic time with Kelly seeing all the familiar art sites from the movie we know and love. Her breadth of knowledge about art and film was evident and she was so well prepared with video clips, quotes from various people involved with the movie, and efficient move through the building ending with the Chagall windows. Highly recommend for fans of the movie or newbies—a great quick move around the museum!

Recommended highly!
This was an enjoyable, educational experience. Samantha was knowledgable and could answer any question asked of her. We have been to the museum many times, but wanted a deeper understanding than we could obtain from reading the plaque by a picture. Samantha provided that insight. Thank you for a great morning at the museum!

Great 2 1/2 hour over view, hitting the highlights and getting a lot of historical back ground, details on artists life and fun facts.
Heath was our guide and he was terrific.
Def need to go back to see more of Art Institute.

Renaldo, you ROCK!!!
I thought this was a photo tour where I take the photos, with input from a professional photographer… but on this tour I was the model! Renaldo was a great guide … he knows his art AND he took amazing photos with ME admiring the artwork. This is a really fun way to see the Art Institute AND leave with some great photos!

A 2.5 hour private guided tour of the Art Institute of Chicago - hits many of the highlights of this fantastic collection. A great balance of art history along with insight into the lives of the artists. Would highly recommend this tour and Heath as a guide specifically. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon at the Art Institute.
