We loved this tour—we could take it NINE TIMES

Rachel_B, Nov 2025

We had a fantastic time with Kelly seeing all the familiar art sites from the movie we know and love. Her breadth of knowledge about art and film was evident and she was so well prepared with video clips, quotes from various people involved with the movie, and efficient move through the building ending with the Chagall windows. Highly recommend for fans of the movie or newbies—a great quick move around the museum!

Chicago Must Do!

We spent a day in Chicago and we did the “Art of Ferris Bueller” tour by Chicago Movie Tours and it was amazing! Kelli is very engaging and knowledgeable about the city of Chicago, the Art Institute where the tour took place, and the movie itself! We learned so many new things! If you visit Chicago, you should absolutely take one of her tours because she’s a great tour guide and she’s passionate about her subject matter! 10/10 recommend! ????
