You can also opt for the Presidential Bike tour which extends for 2.5 hours. This particular tour, along with a visit to DuSable Museum of African American History, also includes an excursion familiarizing one with the entire life's journey of President Obama to the White House. There are a number of hotels in the vicinity and you can compare the Chicago hotel rates and opt for the one that suits you best.
