After a full day of hopping around town with your Go Chicago Card, check out these free audio tours from the Chicago Office of Tourism!

Start by downloading the tours and adding them to your mp3 player. These tours make it convenient to either walk, drive, or get a peek at Chicago from your own home. There’s a tour of The History of Chicago Blues, narrated by none other than Buddy Guy. Learn the story of the music that started in the South and bloomed into popularity in the Windy City.

There’s also a tour of Millenium Park, narrated by its creators, architect Frank Ghery and artists Anish Kapoor and Jaume Plensa. You can learn all about the art, music, architecture, and landscape design that went into creating the park and making it one of America’s best public spaces.

The tours are even available in five different languages, making it even more convenient for tourists visiting Chicago. Happy travels around the city!
