A wonderful tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about historic preservation, key Chicago buildings, and magnificent interiors. He obviously loved Chicago, especially its fantastic architecture. We learned a lot. His approach had a lot of energy and he was fun to listen to and follow around.

It was really interesting to see inside the buildings that I go past daily. My favorites were the Chicago Trade Center and the Marquette building.

It is a walking tour, however the walking is fairly minimal. You have plenty of opportunities to stop and rest as you go in 5 different buildings throughout primarily the financial district area. Our guide Spencer was great , very knowledgeable, witty and kept us engaged throughout the tour
Excellent

Great tour of Chicago building interiors of different types . Adam was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. About 2 hours long. Chicago Cultural Center was the last and most surprising - in a good way - stop. Highly recommended.

Adam, our guide, brought so much quirky charm to the experience, weaving together the stories of Chicago’s architecture inside and out. I loved how we’d step into buildings I never would have expected to be stunning inside, and it opened up a whole new side of the city. Super fun, super insightful!
Totally recommend

This tour was amazing with really fascinating lobbies! Definitely put this in your to do list! If you go in the winter dress warmly!!! There is a lot of time spent outside even though it says “dazzling interiors”.
