We do not recommend collection of your rental car at the airport on arrival. Take one of the metered cabs from the airport to your Chicago Hotel. We recommend this as you will be tired after your flight and will only pay high fees (Approximately $40-$60 per night) to park the vehicle during your 3 days in the city. Of course if you do prefer to collect it on arrival or would like us to arrange someone to meet you at the airport and provide a private transfer to your hotel, this can be done for an additional cost. Your hotel affords the perfect location to explore everything that Chicago has to offer – within walking distance of the best attractions of the city like Millennium Park, Grant Park, Lake Michigan, the Art Institute of Chicago, the theater district, and the Magnificent Mile. This evening, enjoy Chicago’s many restaurants, stroll along the shore of Lake Michigan or jive to the beat at a jazz or blues club – then get a good night sleep and be ready for tomorrow!
Overnight – Chicago
Today is a good day to visit Museum Campus; a 57-acre lakefront park that surrounds three of the city’s most notable museums, all dedicated to the natural sciences: the Adler Planetarium, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum of Natural History. These three institutions, among the city’s top cultural draws, encircle a scenic, pedestrian-friendly area, landscaped with greenery and flora. Or, take in some shopping along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile.

“…Our grandson Max is a massive dinosaur fan & he was absolutely blown away when he first clapped eyes on ‘SUE’ (at the Field Museum in Chicago) – the largest and best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex ever discovered. It was a truly awesome sight… I’ll never forget the look on our Max’s face!” David – Leeds
Overnight – Chicago
Today, explore some of Chicago’s noted neighborhoods. You may want to visit the neighboring town of Oak Park and see the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway, or tour one of the homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In the evening stop by Navy Pier and enjoy a cruise along the lake. There’s much to do in “Chi-town”!
Overnight – Chicago
This morning you will collect your rental car from a convenient downtown location rather than having to go back out to the airport, as is the case with many rental companies. Please ask about the additional cost for the in-car satellite navigation that will guide you along your route, many of our clients say Sat Nav be it your own unit or a rented one is an invaluable addition to any fly drive holiday and we would have to agree.
Travel north along the eastern side of Lake Michigan and be sure to stop in some of the lively beach towns along the coast. In Holland one can visit Windmill Island, a beautiful oasis featuring a 249 year old working Dutch windmill “De Zwaan”, towering over 36 acres of manicured gardens, dikes, canals and picnic areas and 150,000 tulips in bloom each spring. Arrive in Whitehall late afternoon, home to the World’s Largest Weathervane. Climb the spiral staircase to the top of White River Light Station lighthouse tower, or relax on an area beach.
Overnight – Whitehall
This morning, drive directly to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The Leelanau Peninsula juts out into the inland seas known as Lake Michigan. It is alive with small hamlets that end in the splendor of the Sleeping Bear Dunes, which range in colour from pale champagne to burnt sienna and which roll and spike to 400 feet in height. The Lakeshore is also a paradise of outdoor activities – swimming, hiking, fishing and canoeing. In addition to recreational activities there are a multitude of wineries located on the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas surrounding Traverse City
Your accommodation is also within walking distance of unsurpassed beaches, a variety of unique shops, restaurants, attractions and nightlife.
Overnight – Traverse City
Travel to Mackinaw City, park your car and board the ferry** for the 20 minute hi-speed cruise to Mackinac island where Victorian sensibility predominates. Bicycles and horse-drawn carriages are the modes of transportation (no automobiles permitted) on the island in the straits of Mackinac where the upper peninsula of Michigan meets the lower peninsula.
Your accommodation for the next two nights is just across the street from where the ferry boats arrive – in the heart of the historic village. Since cars are not permitted on the island, visitors here enjoy a peaceful, relaxing step back in time.
**Your roundtrip ferry ticket is included in your prepaid cost. The boats operate from early morning until early evening, with frequent crossings throughout the day. There is ample parking available at all mainland ferry docks. All ferry lines offer complimentary outdoor parking (Indoor and valet parking is available for nominal charges.) Luggage transfer is simple and convenient, with assistance provided on both the mainland and on Mackinac Island.
Overnight – Mackinac Island
Not much has changed since the first Europeans settled the island centuries ago. People get around here by foot, bicycle or horse – as motorised vehicles are not allowed on the island. In summer months the horse population (approx 500) is almost as high as the human population (approx 600 residents)! Here you can take a horse and carriage ride and familiarise yourself with this delightful island (measuring only 3.8 square miles in land area) – this is sure to be a real highlight of your Great Lakes experience. You’ll see Fort Mackinac as well as “downtown” Mackinac Island with historic homes and grand Victorian cottages. Then take a self guided hiking tour or rent a bicycle to tour sites such as Arch Rock, Skull Cave, Sugarloaf, British Landing, Devil’s Kitchen and the Beach of a Bazillion Beautiful Skipping Stones… Or just sit back, relax and eat the fudge the island is famous for making.
Overnight – Mackinac Island
Travel north to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. En route to Marquette, be sure to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The 70,000 acre park follows the south shore of Lake Superior for 42 miles.
The sculptured rocks create images of fortresses and castles. Battleship Row, Indian Head, Lover’s Leap, the Color Caves, and Chapel Rock are only a few of the breathtaking sights which can be seen. There are scenic overlooks, hiking trails, beaches and campgrounds, but the Pictured Rocks are best seen by boat and cruises are readily available out of Munising. Continue into Marquette for your overnight stay.
Overnight – Marquette
Travel south into Wisconsin. Visit Green Bay, twice awarded the title of All-America City, Green Bay is known as “Titletown” because of the number of professional football Super Bowl titles its team, the Green Bay Packers, has won. Here one can visit Heritage Hill, a 50 acre living history museum featuring Northeastern Wisconsin’s rich heritage, or the National Railroad Museum, which houses some of the nation’s most significant examples of rolling stock, including the Union Pacific 4017 Big Boy and the Pennsylvania GG-1 electric locomotive. Over 70 locomotives and railcars are on exhibit here. Overnight in Algoma at the entrance to Door County.

Overnight – Algoma
Travel westto Spring Green, visiting Baraboo en route. Baraboo is home to the Circus World Museum, the former headquarters and winter home of the Ringling Brothers circus and now the largest library of circus information in the United States. This living museum has a collection of circus wagons, and occasionally hosts the Great Circus Parade through the streets of Baraboo. The ‘Al. Ringling Theatre’ is an active landmark in the city. This grand scale movie palace is larger and more elaborate than one would normally find in a town the size of Baraboo, owing to the financial assistance of the Ringling family. After a stop at Baraboo leave plenty of time for a visit to nearby Devil’s Lake State Park, often referred to as the Midwest’s ‘Yellowstone’. Continue into Spring Green, less than an hour further on.
Overnight – Spring Green
Today, visit two premier attractions in Spring Green, the ‘Taliesin Estate’ and ‘House on the Rock’. Taliesin Preservation Inc. was created to preserve the buildings, artifacts, landscape, and legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright in Wisconsin (America’s premier architect and Wisconsin’s native son, Frank Lloyd Wright, considered Spring Green his home and he built and created an environment both beautiful and inspirational). House on the Rock has room after room of some of the world’s most unique and eclectic collections from the smallest detail of an intricately furnished doll house collection to the world’s largest indoor carousel. Each exhibit is filled with the exotic, the majestic, and the unexpected.
Overnight – Spring Green
Today you can travel straight to Lake Geneva – however whislt you’re in this neck of the woods why not take a slight de-tour & visit the city of Milwaukee… Some of the things you can see here are: The Harley Davidson Museum, The Milwaukee Art Museum, The Milwaukee Public Museum, Museum of Beer and Brewing and of course see The Fonz statue!! (The journey from Spring Green to Milwaukee is 123 miles – approx. 2 hours 20 mins, then from Milwaukee down to Lake Geneva is 56 miles – approx an hour).
The resort city of Lake Geneva is known today as the “Hamptons of the Midwest”. Grand summer “cottages” of an earlier period grace the landscape of the region. There’s no shortage of shopping here, especially if antiquing is your game. Both fine dining establishments and casual cafes abound. Here one can truly spend some quality holiday time.
Overnight – Lake Geneva
With so much to do in such a beautiful setting, it’s no wonder this area became a destination for the rich and famous. Activities on the lake abound. Take a boat tour or rent a canoe or kayak, go parasailing, water skiing or glide along the lake on a WaveRunner.

Do I need a visa to travel to the usa?
In most circumstances, no visa is required for travel to the USA for any British Citizen passport holder and many other European passport holders, whose countries qualify for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

Once granted the VWP authorization is valid for 2 years.
It is essential that everyone who plans to travel to the United States reads the information contained on the following page – Visa Waiver Program
