Worth the price! - Private tours can be hit or miss for the price tag, but this one was incredible. They’ve been in business for many years and are well connected in the city with knowledgeable guides.

Good time with the wife - This architecture tour was impressive! Hearing the stories behind landmarks like the Willis Tower, Tribune Tower, and the Wrigley Building made me appreciate them even more. The guide explained everything in a way that was easy to follow, even if you’re not an architecture buff. My wife and I both enjoyed it, definitely worth the time. If you’re in Chicago, this tour is a must-do to really understand the city

We loved our private architectural tour! - Lauren was amazing. She shared so much history with us and we covered a great deal of ground in 3 hours. Our weather wasn't great that day, but Lauren still made sure we got to see some of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Great experience overall, and would do it again.
