Samantha P was an outstanding tour guide for our Art Institute Tour. My wife took a lot of art history in college and was impressed by Samantha P knowledge while I know nothing about art but found her description and context of the artwork very understandable.
Patti was so knowledgeable and delightful. It was an amazing experience She is an outstanding guide.
Samantha,our guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with.she went above and beyond by recommending other attractions that were nearby of interest to us.

Excellent tour! Our guide, Spiro, was amazing. Great overview of the Impressionist collection that ties into other collections.
Patti S made the tour incredible! Very insightful and a lot of thought into her tour. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn about pieces and eras in the museum. 10/10 tour for sure!
Patti did an amazing job! Fantastic enthusiasm and very informative! I have been to the Chicago Art Institute several times over the years and she allowed me to see it and the collection in a completely new way! Highly recommend!! Thank you!!
My sister and I are on a girls’ trip and have been to the Art Institute separately, but we wanted to make this visit together special. Since she’s an art teacher, I wanted to make sure she got special insight from a guide who knew the unique aspects of this museum. Our guide Spiro knew so much about the art, the museum, and how its architecture and curation were intentional for our exploration of the collection. Our small group had diverse backgrounds and experiences with art and Spiro made room for everyone to learn something and walk away with a broader perspective of what we had seen moving through the galleries. I highly recommend Spiro as a guide if you want to soak up a deeper understanding when you visit the Art Institute.
Spiro was knowledgeable and informative. He wove the history of art and the periods in a way that was manageable for novices.
Patti was simply fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and welcoming. It was well worth the cost!!
