"A Little Bit of This - A Little Bit of That"

Chicago, Illinois

Experience all aspects of Chicago – museums, shopping, cruises, and more. See Chicago’s skyline with an architecture river cruise.

Day 1:

Board the motorcoach and relax as we travel to Illinois with appropriate stops along the way. This city is rich in history, beauty, and things to do. Our first stop will be the Willis Tower Sky Deck.

The Willis Tower is 1,450 feet high; the lowest level of Willis Tower is 43 feet below the Franklin Street elevation. On a clear day, you can see four states from the deck: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Visibility from the Sky deck is approximately 40-50 miles.

Next, arrive at the Navy Pier and board the Shoreline Architecture Cruise for some shoreline sightseeing. Afterwards, check into the Ramada Convention Center and enjoy a lovely welcome reception upon arrival. Freshen up before departing for dinner and gaming at the Horseshoe Casino.

Day 2:
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before departing to meet our tour guide for an Untouchable Tour. Enjoy the live action tour that gets you inside the story of Chicago’s windiest politicians, rollicking red-light districts, and most notorious vice games.

Enjoy a buffet luncheon at Aurelio’s.

Afterwards, make a stop at the Museum of Science and Industry and then dinner at Tommy Gun’s Garage, where you’ll eat, sing, drink, and dance your way through the decades as the sound of “Chicago’s typewriters” (tommy guns) rat-a-tat fills your ears.

Day 3:

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before departing for the Community Veterans Memorial to spend some time remembering those who participated in the great wars of the twentieth century.

Stop at the John Dillinger Museum, renovated and developed into an educational and historic experience.

Enjoy lunch at Teibel’s before heading to the Albanese Candy Factory for a treat of the world’s best gummies. Tour the factory before departing for home with great memories of the “windy city.”

PACKAGE INCLUDES: Two nights accommodations, two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, welcome reception, all attractions, baggage handling, taxes, and meal gratuities.
