Mandy was a wonderful tour guide! She had such interesting stories about the art we saw! She took us to see pieces that maybe we would not have normally noticed. I learned something from her at every stop. I came with three friends, and we all agreed on the quality of our tour. The art Institute is huge and has so much to see! It was a great way to spend 2 1/2 hours at the art museum
