Your tour begins in Chicago, a bustling city on the shores of Lake Michigan. Tonight, enjoy a special welcome dinner in one of Chicago’s vibrant ethnic communities.

Day 2

Highlights of your tour include famous Michigan Avenue, the “Magnificent Mile,” the Wrigley Building, the Loop, the Lake Front and a walking tour through Millennium Park. This afternoon, explore the Field Museum and visit Sue - the world’s largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex. The remainder of your day is at leisure to relax or discover more gems of the “Windy City”.

Day 3

This morning, enjoy time on your own to explore Chicago further. Maybe you’ll visit the Chicago Cultural Center, where the largest Tiffany dome in the world can be found. Or, you might visit the Art Institute of Chicago and behold the most complete collection of impressionist art outside of Paris. Perhaps you will ride to the top of the Sears Tower for remarkable views of the city, lake and neighboring states. This afternoon, head for the green pastures of Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland.”

Stop at the Door County Maritime Museum and learn about the region’s rich maritime history through exhibits featuring wooden boats, engine rooms and so much more! Visit Door County’s largest dairy farm - Schopf’s Hilltop Dairy Farm - and learn about Wisconsin’s dairy industry first hand as you get a peek into the milking operations.

Day 5
Green Bay - Mackinac Island, Michigan
Ferry across the lake to incredible Mackinac Island. Almost as soon as automobiles reached Mackinac, islanders elected to ban them. Today, Mackinac is quiet, with the neighs, whinnies and clip-clops of horses replacing the roar of engines. As your ferry approaches the shore you can see your home for the next two nights, the glorious Victorian-era resort, the Grand Hotel. Both your hotel and the island itself are National Historic Landmarks. The island is a natural gem, with over eighty percent preserved by Mackinac State Park, a wooded paradise accented with limestone formations and ringed by Lake Huron. The evening is yours to enjoy, perhaps with a leisurely stroll through the quaint village or by relaxing on the world’s longest porch in front of the Grand Hotel.
