“I would highly recommend the Skydeck Dinner on the Ledge. It was the perfect location for me to propose to my future wife. Our waiter was very attentive and happily took many pictures plus a video of the proposal. These are memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for the unforgettable evening!”
Ride through Chicago’s Loop with guides such as Alan, Ty, Matthew, Avery, Karina, and Kris, hearing Prohibition tales and ghost stories. You’ll see Holy Name Cathedral, Frank Nitti’s vault, Death Alley, the Congress Hotel, and Al Capone’s former speakeasy site during this two-hour bus tour.

“We were told to go to the outside lane after we picked up our luggage which we did. THe driver was waiting for us by baggage claim which I did not realize. He was rude and blamed us for not being in the correct place. I had texted him so he knew where we were located. Then he had us WALK for another 20 minutes to where he had parked the car in the parking garage. The driver continued to complain about us the whole time we were hauling our luggage all over the place. He was very rude and I expect some kind of compensation credited to my credit…”

I had a wonderful time exploring the city and taking photos in this elegant, flowing dress. We attracted considerable attention, with people stopping to ask questions and show interest.
