North Shore estate tour: what to expect

The North Shore Estate Tour runs 35 miles one way out to Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, a 3–4 hour scenic outing. The package starts at $295. Chicago's North Shore holds some of the most spectacular residential architecture in the country, Gilded Age mansions, Prairie-style estates, and modernist lakefront homes along Sheridan Road. The tour winds through Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, and Glencoe, past landmark properties, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and Lake Michigan views that rival any coastline. The $295 starting rate covers the outing, so the group takes in the architecture without watching a meter or planning the route.

The route & timing

The 35-mile route and a 3–4 hour window allow an unhurried loop through the lakefront estates. Sheridan Road's historic Gold Coast corridor lines the drive with landmark homes; the Chicago Botanic Garden spreads across 385 acres of professionally designed garden landscapes, Lake Forest's Market Square was designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw in 1916, and Ravinia's outdoor performance pavilion and manicured grounds anchor the southern end. Your chauffeur sets a relaxed pace so the group can take in the architecture, with stops as the day allows. A guided, chauffeured loop is the point, the estates and the Botanic Garden reward slow, narrated driving.

Why book a car for this run

A scenic architecture tour is exactly what rideshare cannot do. There is no stringing together a 35-mile loop past estates and the Botanic Garden, and a self-drive means the driver misses the view fighting Sheridan Road traffic. Our package starts at $295 with a dedicated chauffeur for the outing, so everyone takes in the Gilded Age mansions and lakefront homes. For a special occasion the Rolls-Royce Phantom makes the day an event, and an SUV keeps a family comfortable. No metered surprises, no one stuck behind the wheel: one chauffeur, one set rate, downtown through the North Shore estates and back.
