Chicago Official Visitor Guide Reviews

Let's you thumb through their magazine and pretty much nothing else. Not helpful.

Good thing it was free. I would not pay for it. Not real intuitive to use.

It's officially fall so where's your fall update? I'm trying to plan my mid-October trip with outdated info. Guess I'll look elsewhere.

This is just like the guide they will send you as a magazine only easier to use than a paper copy. Unfortunately it is now October and the magazine only goes through September. They really need to keep this thing updated. It does contain some useful tips. Be sure and check the library view and you will see there are really two documents.

Like most travelers we like to get an overview of a city before we visit- this serves that purpose. A bit slow loading but navigating through the pages is smooth, linking to sites within ChicagoOfficialVisitorGuide works really well.
As with any city tourism guide a business is featured because the hold a paid membership in the CVB or chamber, so you're not necessarily getting exposure to the best or most interesting places within a city- we often avoid the restaurants and shops that are included in such literature, knowing they focus on tourists- that said, this offers a highly general lay of the land, a good starter primer.

Planning a trip in the coming months to the windy city and this guide has tons of usual information I a clean, easy to use format! I especially like the transit guides and links that let you get additional information. Not sure how often the content is updated, but if it is frequently, this would be a home run!

ChicagoOfficialVisitorGuide is helpful for me in planning our family's trip to Chicago this summer. Great photos and descriptions of each area of interest.

This is a must have app for entertaining in Chicago. I,love it so much
