Amazing tour! We learned so much and got to see so many amazing buildings. Adam taught us so much about the history of the city and tied it into the culture and architecture we see today. He spent so much time answering all of our questions and making sure we were all engaged. Don’t miss this tour. You will appreciate Chicago in a new way!

Very informative for everyone. Opened doors to buildings that I would have assumed were not open to the public for casual visiting.

A gorgeous way to learn more about the beauty of Chicago, whether it’s your first time or a frequent visitor. Spencer was a FANTASTIC guide - clearly someone who loves Chicago through and through, a friendly and energetic soul with great knowledge and recommendations.

Fascinating tour! Hillary was so knowledgeable and insightful about the details and context of the 7 buildings we visited. We have lived in Chicago for many years and this tour was a real eye opener. We really recommend this tour for anyone visiting Chicago with 2 hours to spare.

Our tour began at 14 degrees. An extreme temperature for some southern girls from Mississippi! But do not fear…the indoor tour is here! We loved the brief walks to different indoor areas that featured all types of architecture. Our amazing guide also pointed out features of the exterior buildings as well. We very much enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it-cold OR warm weather!

Spencer’s tour was a 10/10. He’s the perfect blend of knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. I would take my family on any trip offered and hope to do more next time in town. Chicago is my hometown yet Spencer took us to places I never knew existed. This tour is a must and I can not recommend it enough!

Kaylee was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made it fun by letting us wander and looking for clues to the architecture or story. Highly recommend this tour.

We adored our tour guide! This tour has me looking up more when I go to Chicago. Whether it is outside or inside, there is always an opportunity for interesting views. Did this on a 14 degree day and we spent enough time inside that it didn’t have an effect on the tour.
