Review of Chicago’s $14.99 self-guided Millennium Park tour, covering Cloud Gate, Crown Fountain, Lurie Garden, and Nichols Bridgeway offline.
“Self paced walking tour so we could stop & listen, check side info. or just stop for a hot dog and lemonade between spots. Only complaint is when it says only run the tour, it really is only the tour. The couple times I toggled over to take a photo it stopped & I had to re-start it. No big deal, it picked up with where we were.”
Explore Hyde Park with Bill Ayers, from the University of Chicago to Washington Park, on a flexible self-guided audio walk.
“Worse than one could ever expect your walking in silence majority of the time and very limited information is given! We didn’t even go into the university original buildings at all. Complete waste of time.”
