Adam our guide was entertaining,friendly and most importantly professional informative and gave us facts about the buildings easily missed without his knowledge
Very interesting and great information about the history of the buildings and Chicago. Adam, our guide, was very knowledgeable and passionate.
Excellent tour! Lots of stories and history behind these buildings.
Highly recommended! During the 2-hr walking tour, we went inside five magnificent jewels of Chicago architecture spanning a hundred years, from the birth of the Chicago skyscrapers to the postmodern era. Our guide Hilary is a real expert with in depth knowledge in arts, architecture, history, (and speaks many languages!) and is also so fun! We learned a lot and felt the time passed too quickly. The amount of walking is light and pleasant and the pace is perfect. This tour is absolutely worth the value!
Wonderful tour filled with lots of beautiful buildings and interesting history. We had lots of questions as my son is really interested in architecture and design and our guide was great about answering all of them!
The places visites were iconique, but what distiinquished this tour was the exception guide. She had deep knowledge, and a warm, inviting personality. If you take only one tour in Chicago, it should be this.
Hillary was our tour guide. She provided lots of fascinating details about the history and construction of the buildings we visited. Being a fellow “word nerd,” I especially enjoyed the Cultural Arts Center, and her commentary on language connection.
We learned so much about Chicago and the buildings we went to… it was awesome! Our tour guide was phenomenal and very well educated in the history of the buildings and Chicago as a whole. We had a great time. There were so many beautiful buildings we never even knew existed.
We live in Chicago but wanted to be a tourist in our own city. The tour was outstanding ! Spencer did a great job and you can really see his passion for and knowledge of the city. Highly recommend for out of town guest or long time Chicagoans to learn about hidden gems hiding in plain sight.
Use the bathroom in the station by the meeting point- tour is 2 hours long. Spencer was our guide- he was so friendly and informative & added his own personal experiences at each stop.
