5 stars

Historic cultural Chicago is on full display on the two-hour Gray Line South Shore Tour. Travel through Grant Park, the front lawn of the city and site of Soldier Field, where you might hear some music from the Joseph Petrillo outdoor band-shell on warm summer nights.

View the Art Institute of Chicago, renowned for its collection of impressionist art; Orchestra Hall, home of the famous Chicago Symphony; the vast Field Museum of Natural History; and the 80-story Amoco Oil Building, completely faced in white granite. Continue through beautiful Jackson Park en route to the University of Chicago with its elegant English style architecture. Finally, view Lake Point Towers -- once the world's tallest apartment building -- an architecturally stunning building of glass and curves.

Comments about Smart Destinations South Side Tour by Gray Line:

Although we had visited a lot on the South side of Chicago ( Alder building etc) it was good that the tour took us into the suburbs to see sites that you would not see without having the tour.
