What a wonderful tour with Camiba Cultural Tours in Chicago!! Troy was so very accommodating to our group's interests along with some time during each day to talk through and discuss what we were inspired by! We enjoyed a behind the scenes tour at the Institute of Art, along with other cultural sites in downtown, art gallery openings, botanical gardens, an outdoor art fair and architectural sites. We really felt we had an amazing immersion into so many wonderful art and cultural places in Chicago. I highly recommend Camiba Cultural Tours for your next vacation!. ~ Kelley W.
