Activity itinerary

Dubuque
  • 4h
The small town of Dubuque sits at the junction of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois, with the Mississippi River flowing through it. As one of the United States’ most important rivers, the Mississippi’s beautiful scenery is not to be missed.
Galena
  • 1h
Nestled in the rolling hills of northwestern Illinois, Galena grew into a bustling town in the early 1800s after lead ore—its namesake, from the Latin “galena” (lead sulphide)—was discovered, making mining its primary industry. Today, Galena is a premier tourist destination in Illinois and the Midwest, renowned for its unmatched hills and valleys.
Ulysses S. Grant Home
  • 30m
Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, was born in Ohio and graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1843. During the latter half of the Civil War, he rose to commander‑in‑chief of the Union Army, and his skilful leadership and repeated extraordinary achievements were instrumental in ending the conflict and securing Union victory. After the war, Grant successfully won the presidency and was re‑elected, though his tenure was considered mediocre.
Grant Park
  • 30m
Grant Park, a large urban park in Chicago’s central business district, was renamed in 1901 to honour US President Ulysses S. Grant. The park features performance venues, gardens, artworks, sporting facilities, and a harbour, and it hosts public gatherings and several major annual events, earning its reputation as “Chicago’s front yard.”
Chicago
  • 10m
The guests will be dropped off to hotel or home.
