Chicago Limousine & Chauffeur Service
Private city tours of Chicago with your own chauffeur, shaped around the sights you want to see, from the lakefront and Museum Campus to the neighborhoods beyond downtown.
Private city tours with Swena USA Limousine are built around your interests rather than a fixed route. You choose the sights, the pace and how long to stay at each stop, and your chauffeur handles traffic, parking and the drive between them, so the day is spent looking at Chicago instead of navigating it.
A tour might follow the lakefront past Grant Park and Buckingham Fountain, pause at Millennium Park to see Cloud Gate, then continue to the Museum Campus, home to the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium. Others focus on architecture along the Chicago River, shopping on the Magnificent Mile or a photo outside Wrigley Field. Many guests also ask for a drive along DuSable Lake Shore Drive for the skyline views.
Because the car is booked by the hour, it suits visitors with a free afternoon, families showing relatives around and couples marking an anniversary. Tell us what you would like to see and roughly how long you have, and we will suggest how to fit it together. Learn more about hourly limo service. Private city tours can also end with a dinner reservation, with the car waiting afterward.

Pick the landmarks, neighborhoods and viewpoints that matter to you; your chauffeur links them into a sensible order and adjusts if you want to linger.
Downtown parking is slow and expensive. Your chauffeur drops you near each entrance and waits nearby, so a stop takes minutes rather than half an hour.
Spend a long stretch on the Museum Campus or ten minutes at a photo spot. Hourly booking means the schedule bends to the day you want.
A private tour makes a thoughtful plan for visiting family, a proposal photo stop or an anniversary afternoon spent seeing the city together.
The most enjoyable private city tours mix a few headline sights with time to wander. Downtown landmarks sit fairly close together, so a short tour can cover the lakefront, Millennium Park and the river. Longer bookings leave room for a neighborhood such as Lincoln Park, a museum visit or an unhurried lunch. If you know Chicago already, a tour can skip the famous spots and focus on quieter corners.
Think about the season too. Summer brings festivals and busy lakefront traffic, while winter favors indoor stops like museums and the observation decks downtown. For current hours and events, Choose Chicago is the city’s official tourism resource. Your chauffeur keeps the car close, so you can change plans without fuss. Rain is rarely a problem when the car is a short walk away. Autumn colors in the parks are a quieter alternative to summer.

No. Each tour is planned around your interests and the time you book. You can share a list of sights in advance, or start with a rough idea and decide as you go. Your chauffeur will help keep the order practical, so you see as much as possible without doubling back.
Yes. Private city tours work best with a mix of photo stops and longer visits. Your chauffeur drops you as close to each entrance as traffic allows, then waits nearby or meets you at an agreed spot when you are ready to move on.
Your chauffeur is there to drive, plan the route and keep the day running smoothly rather than to give a scripted commentary. Many guests add a guided museum visit or a river architecture cruise for deeper background. Ask us about timing when you request your quote. Our chauffeur service page explains what to expect from your driver.
It can. If you land at O’Hare or Midway with time before hotel check-in, we can plan a short tour on the way. Share your flight number when you book so the pickup is timed to your arrival; our airport car service page explains how pickups work.
Most guests find a few hours enough for the main downtown and lakefront sights, while a full day leaves room for neighborhoods and museums. Tell us what you want to see, and we will suggest a realistic length and vehicle when we prepare your quote. Private city tours can also be split across two shorter days if that suits your trip.
Send us your wish list and we will shape the day around it. Call 708-446-3103, request a tour quote, or browse the fleet first.
