Good introduction to architectur available to the public, which we often walk past without realizing the beauty inside. - Colleen was personable as well as knowledgeable about the architectural time periods as well as the architects goals. We enjoyed our tour. It was well worth the price.

Awesome for architecture lovers - This tour was a great pace for us. Our guide had lots of interesting Chicago facts for us to help make each building come alive. The extra images also helped to illustrate what the buildings looked like at different points of time. Highly recommend!

Custom Christmas/Architecture Tour - Hillary gave a spectacular custom tour! She is personable, witty and very knowledgeable. She shared some amazing interiors we had never seen before despite my husband and I both having grown up in Chicagoland. We'll be sure to revisit some of the highlights we saw today in the future. I highly recommend this tour company!

Great tour - Outstanding tour! We hadn't been inside some of these buildings, and to go with such a fun, knowledge guide was really wonderful. Who knew we'd see so much Tiffany Glass and mosaics?

Wonderful, informative, and surprising tour! - Kylie was an amazing tour guide. She was a wealth of knowledge about Chicago and the amazing buildings we toured. She was enthusiastic, well spoken and fun throughout our tour. I have lived in the Chicago area my whole life and didn’t know what amazing interiors I could see by just stepping inside. I highly recommend this tour to visitors and native Illinoisans alike. The tour is almost exactly two hours and on very flat ground (although you do cross a lot is streets).

Excellent - Fantastic tour of Chicago's less-seen beautiful and historic places. The guide, Kylie - sorry if I got your name wrong - was both animated and very knowledgeable. She gave us a much deeper and historical picture of this fantastic city.
