Overview
The Art Institute of Chicago houses one of the finest American and Impressionist painting collections in the world, but it can be overwhelming to explore on your own. Remove the guesswork and maximize your time inside the museum on a private tour that covers major highlights by Picasso, Chagall, Warhol, Hopper, and others. Plus, there's no waiting to get inside, as the tour includes a skip-the-line ticket.

Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent!!!
Paul_W, Sept 2025
Heath was masterful! Weaving together hundreds of years of art history with culture, some politics, and a little self-reflection. From details about artists lives, to changes in popular culture, to specifics of paintings and everything in between and around them, Heath delivered a captivating and exciting trip through the Institute.
Heath connected well with our group. Mesmerizing!

Heath was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and kept the tour moving. We saw a lot in 21/2 hours. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys art! So much better than just walking through on your own or doing the audio tour!
Great tour
