5.00Our tour guide, Hillary, was a wealth of knowledge and kept the whole tour group engaged through the duration of the tour. The guided tour was 2 hours but seemed so much shorter due to the guides engagement and knowledge. It was wonderful way to tour some of the best interior architectural designs in Chicago! I even went back to one of the spots we toured the next day to admire the beauty!
Don’t Miss This!

5.00Spencer was a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable! We went in about 5 different buildings which really were incredible and varied in style. Plus we got a lot of information about Chicago and architectural history. Spencer even included a stop where he took pictures for people in front of a building.
