Overview of your Chicago tour:

From the beginnings of Chicago, the North Shore has been a haven for the very rich & well connected . Set against the backdrop of one of the largest inland lakes, we will take a two lane road that meanders through great historic sites, magnificent estates & a big ten University. As we travel on our journey , we will stop to experience all the the wonder & tranquility the area has to offer. The tour offers opportunities to visit old house museums, a light house, hidden gardens & a religious temple that took 90 years to build! The beauty & naturalness of the setting will see why the area has been a haven for those who could afford to live there ; from the days it was just a vacation getaway before the advent of the automobile. I intimately am familiar with all it's many treasures & look forward to sharing them with you.
