DAY 1: Morning departures as we head to our first destination, Dearborn, Michigan. We will visit Detroit’s

#1 Automotive Attraction, the Ford Rouge Factory. This tour is more than a walk along an assembly line, it

is an excursion where environmental innovation and industrial production combine. During the remainder of

the afternoon you will have time to view the new exhibition at the Henry Ford Museum, DRIVING

AMERICA. The exhibition focuses on the automobile from the user perspective and will change the way we

think about what we drive. Dinner tonight at a local restaurant. (D)

DAY 2: Morning departure as we continue on to the windy city, Chicago. We will meet our certified guide

in the city. Our first stop will be the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group, located in a landmark Art Deco

building in the heart of the Loop; it is the world’s largest and oldest futures exchange. We will stop for

delicious toffee at Terry’s Toffee. This toffee is Donald Trump’s favorite and is used at his hotel for guests!

Nearby, enjoy a treat at a traditional Italian bakery.

Cruise along the Chicago River for a unique look at Chicago’s architecturally significant buildings. Your

fully narrated architecture cruise along all three branches of the river is one of the top attractions in

Chicago. Tonight enjoy a delicious dinner, family-style. (B,D)

DAY 3: After breakfast, enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Arlington International Racetrack and learn

about the track’s 80 year history, including hosting the world’s first million dollar race: The Arlington

Million. Then it’s off for guided tour of Chicago’s world famous Millennium Park, center for art, music,

architecture and landscape design. You will have some time for lunch on your own at Merchandise Mart

before traveling in the world’s fastest elevators. They will take you to the 103rd floor, 1354 feet above the

ground in the country’s tallest building, Skydeck Chicago. On a clear day you will see spectacular views

spanning up to four states.

Afterwards stand on the stage where many of your favorite artists have performed, including Frank Sinatra,

Dean Martin, Liza Minelli and numerous others during our private tour of the historic Chicago Theater. We

restaurants. Chicagoans use this tunnel system to travel underground between many different commercial

and government buildings along the 40 block route. Then tour famed Macy’s Department Store (formerly

Marshall Field’s), the second largest department store in the world. Dinner tonight will include chef

instruction of the main dish. (B,D)
