What a fantastic tour! Kelli is a true expert in film and knows how to share her expertise in a fun and unique way! She took us to several locations in the downtown area of Chicago where scenes from well known and lesser known movies were filmed. Armed with a handheld screen, she was able to make those scenes come alive as she shared different techniques that the directors used to get just the right few seconds of film. And it was right where we were standing! I’ve visited Chicago about a dozen times and this is now my FAVORITE tour!! Bravo, Kelli!! Thanks for the wonderful memory!

My wife and I were delighted with the Art of Ferris Bueller Walking Tour at Chicago's Art Institute. Kelli's extensive knowledge of both the movie and the museum were combined into an informative and entertaining tour that will deepen your understanding and appreciation for this classic film. She combines clips from the movie and closeup views of the relevant paintings and sculptures with fascinating historical background and analysis that will leave you feeling like an expert. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed the fabulous tour led by Kelli from Chicago Movie Tours about The Art of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The tour took place in the Art Institute of Chicago where scenes from the aforementioned movie took place. Kelli weaved together stories about the movie, its creator, the actors and the art. She helped us to imagine the museum in the 1980s - the decade the movie was made. Along with stories, Kelli used an iPad to integrate scenes and images from the movie into our current experience. Bravo!!

This tour for me was a great way to learn more about Chicago through the lens of a film I enjoyed in my youth. Kelli offered depth and insight into John Hughes's creation Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I encourage you to watch the film again after the tour and enjoy your new eye for details! Kelli's tour has been a really enjoyable way for me to visit the Art Institute. Thanks again!

If you have kids that love Ferris Bueller's Day Off, they will love this walking tour! I went with my sister and 15-year-old son, and we all learned something about how this 2-minute scene was so significant in the movie and to the director. Do not miss this if you are in Chicago. It brings everything about this movie to a new experience level and a better understanding. Bravo!
