Great place to visit and eat steaks - Chicago is a beautiful and clean city. so many things to do and restaurants to eat , especially these two great steakhouses such as RPM steaks and Prime & Provisions! I hate to admit but in my humble (but accurate) opinion, these two, especially the RPM steaks is better than virtually all steak house in NYC, in terms of quality of steaks, seafood tower and for ever friendly smiling services!!!

Great Tour, Limited Access - Great tour with knowledgeable & friendly guide. 2 things to know: Lunch is not included as described (and even confirmed by Viator in a separate email), and you will not go inside every building. Weekend tours are even more limited to inside access.
