Inside Chicago was better than we hoped - Adam’s knowledge of the city history and architecture was amazing. Such extravagant interiors that you would never guess were hidden behind the structures. So glad we booked this!

Must do - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The interiors are truly wonderful. Our guide was Heath and he did an excellent job. Amusing, engaging and so well informed, he imparted a great deal of information and kept us enthralled. The two hours passed by all too quickly. This is a must do.

Architecture Lover’s Tour - Kaylee’s enthusiasm and knowledge was contagious. Needless to say, I’d do this tour again if I’m in Chicago again. I’d suggest reading up for some background before taking the tour.

A morning to discover the art deco and the best architecture of the Chicago loop - I highly recommend the tour “The world within”. Hillary, owner of “Inside Chicago Walking Tours”, guided us with passion and enthusiasm through the exterior and interior architecture of a series of buildings located in the southern part of the loop, which a vacationer does not think he can freely access.

Worth the time! - Our tour guide, Kaylee, was super knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for history and architecture. She gave a few minutes in each building for independent Easter egg searches before sharing the treasures each building holds. Highly recommended!
