Very interesting tour, - Very interesting. It allowed me to see the interiors which I would not see on my own. Colleen was knowledgeable and shared the information which is not a common knowledge. She eagerly answered the questions and was very pleasant.

Outstanding historical perspective. Amazing interiors revealed never to be imagined. The river tour was great to show th - Tour guide was highly knowledgeable and gave a great historical perspective on the building in Chicago from day one. Being able to see the interiors of this building makes one realize how amazing the materials and the craftsmanship are. I took the river tour as well and that was great for exterior architecture, but this tour puts the icing on the cake. I highly recommend.

Discover amazing treasures hidden in plain sight - We did a 2 night, 1 day stopover in Chicago, so didn't have much time. We came across the walking tours on trip advisor and booked the 2 hour tour that started at 11am. Our guide was Heath. From the get-go he was friendly, welcoming and engaging with us and the others who joined us, 10 people in total. Heath's knowledge of the subject was very deep and broad, and he gave us lots of context and history around the city and all the buildings we visited. The buildings we visited were spectacular outside and inside, and the tour gave us a whole new appreciation of the structures we walk past frequently but never really think about. We loved the tour and highly recommend it.

A great contrast to the Architectural boat tours ! - Heath was an amazing guide, with comments on exteriors of buildings to give context to the interiors. I recommend Monday or Tuesday tours as you are not encumbered by the fact that some areas are wedding venues !

Awesome Walking Tour! - The architectural walking tour is amazing! Adam is very knowledgeable and very detailed in explaining the history of the buildings, the materials used, the archirectural style, why they designed it that way, and tons more fun facts! Yiu can see his passion for Chicago! I would recommend visitors to add this tour to their itinerary.

Great walking tour! - Had a great time on this tour with Heath - he was extremely knowledgable, articulate and clearly passionate about his subject. I had no idea there was so much to learn about architecture, or that Chicago was such a ground breaking city for so much of modern architectural design.
