Kelli was so knowledgeable and made the tour so fun and educational! I would recommend to anybody from Chicago or visiting. Definitely watch the movie again before the tour.

We booked the private tour with Kelli and it was absolutely amazingly perfect. My husband and daughter and I were in Chicago from Raleigh for just 24 hours recreating the entire Ferris Bueller day off experience, and this tour was by far the highlight of our day. We had a very specific focus in mind for our time at the Art Institute, and Kelli's tour was 100% aligned to that. Her commentary and iPad resource visuals were really engaging and her insights into not just the art of the movie, but the film overall were so enjoyable. We'd never have been able to see or find these pieces within such a vast museum on our short timeline for the day without Kelli's masterful understanding and reconnaissance! THANK YOU for making our day so perfect.

Kelli’s Ferris themed tour of the Art Institute was fantastic. The connections she made between the art pieces, the movie characters and John Hughes’ intentions was illuminating, insightful and fun. I highly recommend it!

Kelli is incredible!!! So kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. She took us exactly where we wanted to go (so we could recreate famous Ferris scenes). We learned so so much about the building, art and movie! An unforgettable and unique experience I would recommend to all my friends.

A really great tour that opened up a Chicago spot (the Art Institute) through the lens of film. It made the movie more Highly recommend for film buffs or art students or anyone who just wants a fun in-road into the city's history.

What a great way to learn about art through the perspective of character development and narrative flow. Kelli uses her gift of teaching to great advantage. Her meticulous research and knowledge of a beloved film gave us a memorable way to take in an iconic home of art. No overwhelm, just a great afternoon at the Art Institute.

If you have kids. That love this movie, 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!
