Join us to fully experience the energy, vitality and excitement of Chicago with our Panoramic Scenic Tour. Find yourself immersed in one of the world's most important financial centres, a fast-paced, exciting city sector that buzzes with an air of innovation and activity.

Tour the world-famous 'loop' of Chicago's commercial centre, and stride along “State Street, that great street” as it was dubbed by Frank Sinatra. This great thoroughfare, by which Chicago earned its original fame, is now a popular shopping destination where you can find a special souvenir or hunt down all your favourite brands. Wander through Richard J. Daley plaza, viewing its acknowledged masterpieces including The Chicago Picasso sculpture, commissioned specifically for the city from the famous Spanish master.

Encounter innovation in action with a trip along Wacker drive, a multi-level, double-decker thoroughfare that snakes its way beneath the towering steel giants of the city. Witness one of the world's greatest feats of engineering as you travel over Chicago's backward-flowing river. See the famously striking white Wrigley Building, originally built to house the Wrigley company headquarters.

Take in Michigan Avenue to discover Chicago's elegant seven-level shopping complex the renowned Water Tower Place, and its neighbour the John Hancock Centre, one of the tallest buildings in the world. With its winning combination of architectural marvels, modern man-made masterpieces and cultural gems, Cosmopolitan Chicago will be etched on your heart for a lifetime!
