In Chicago at dusk, you’ll take a live-guided panoramic tour from the top deck of an open-top double-decker bus. From that vantage point, the city skyline will come alive as lights turn on across the lakefront, from the Magnificent Mile to the Museum Campus and beyond. Your guide will share historical facts and hidden stories as you look out over Chicago’s evening skyline.
Along the way, you’ll pass through River North and see its energetic nightlife, trendy bars and diverse dining spots lit up after dark. The route will follow legendary Michigan Avenue, showing the upscale shopping and historic architecture of the Magnificent Mile and the cultural stretch of the State Street Theater District. You’ll see well-known landmarks such as the Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower and the Art Institute of Chicago, all framed against the evening sky.
