Great tour. Great guide. Great learning experience. - Took the tour on the 22nd of April, 2024. A great experience. Have taken different Chicago architectural over the years, this was a bit different focusing on the interior of the buildings, while still getting useful and interesting information about the exteriors. Hillary, the guide that day, made the tour that much better with her knowledge and enthusiasm.

Take this tour! - Our guide, Adam, was fantastic. He shared the history and interesting side stories about the buildings we visited. And kept the tour at a good pace - never slow, never too fast. There was even a lot of time for questions. I highly recommend the tour. FIVE stars!

Discovering hidden jewels among Chicago’s street life - I love how Hillary led us into each space, allowed us to explore a bit and then gather us up to communicate some history and context for the building we were looking at. The tour was not only interesting but educational and inspiring.

Beautiful Way to Explore Chicago - See beautiful interiors and learn about their history
Our tour guide walked us around and inside various buildings in the loop. She told us about the different architectural styles and the history of the buildings. We had a good group size of 12 which made it easy to circle around and hear our guide.

Locals will appreciate this tour just as much as tourists! - Hillary was fantastic, super knowledgeable and very personable. The tour was visually stunning and this Chicagoan learned a lot and saw some really spectacular interiors that you normally would just walk by when downtown. I loved it!
