Unexpected gems

Julie_W, Aug 2026

Surprising and unexpected- beautiful decor inside buildings I would have walked past. Talia was funny and knowledgeable and knew how to keep the 25 of us together, safe and entertained, complete with interesting stories about the architecture and the architects! This tour eye opening.

Missed 2 interiors :-(

Donna_B, Aug 2026

Unfortunately the Saturday afternoon time slot didn't allow our group to enter 2 of the premier building interiors we were looking forward to seeing, Rockery and Board of Trade. There was no back up locations or photos provided and our tour ended 15-20 minutes early. Guide, Angel, was informative, but didn't wait for full group to catch up/regroup at times resulting in us missing out on what was said. We experienced many tours and having audio aids and a guide with company logo shirt and/or flag to follow improved the experience. Would recommend to others on a weekday when buildings are available to actually view.

Great 2 hour walking tour...

Great 2 hour walking tour with brief restroom break. Encompasses at least 5 building interiors with great details about exteriors of buildings too! We saw several Tiffany works and a variety of architectural styles. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent tour- we saw...

Heidi_F, Aug 2026

Excellent tour- we saw interiors of beautiful buildings and learned about the history of the city. This is a 2 hour tour, well worth your time.

Eye opening and spectacular

This was a great walking tour and Grant, our guide, was excellent. Superb knowledge and enthusiasm and answered all questions from the whole group. Some wonderful buildings and interiors viewed providing a great insight into the Art Deco architecture of Chicago. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Contact from Grant prior to the tourcwas also very helpful to confirm time and location.
