Chicago City Tour: Elevated Architecture Tour med togbillet inkluderet
Beskrivelse
Udforsk Chicagos fantastiske arkitektur fra det unikke perspektiv af højtog og stationsperroner. Lær historien bag det berømte "L"-system og hør, hvordan det har formet udviklingen af bygninger i Loop. Byens første højtog begyndte at tage på ture i 1892. Nu betragtes som en af Chicagos mest definerende træk, "L" tilbyder en utrolig udsigt over centrum. Ved at være mere end 20 fod fra jorden vil du se arkitektoniske detaljer, som de fleste fodgængere savner på gadeniveau. Dette er vores mest omfattende tur i løkken, der passerer hundredvis af bygninger og fremhæver dem af arkitektonisk betydning. Som en certificeret nonprofit understøtter alle CAC-billetkøb direkte vores uddannelsesindsats og samfundsengagementprojekter.

Quentin is an excellent guide and my wife and I learned much on this unique tour.
Everything about the tour was fantastic. Steve is very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged.
Thank you for the terrific review! The Elevated Architecture tour is spectacular and we are so happy you enjoyed your time. We hope to see you again the next time you visit Chicago!
We are CAC members and have many of the tours but this Elevated Train Tour was one of the best. Our guide Steve was excellent- knowledgeable, interesting and easy to follow. It was a great combination of learning about the history of the trains along with the architecture that surrounds them. We would highly recommend it

I loved this tour!! I’ve been to stunning train stations I normally wouldn’t go to, and Chris P explained everything so clearly and relaxed!
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Elevated Architecture tour. It really is a great way to explore Chicago's most famous train line. We hope to see you on another tour!
We had a wonderful tour with Quentin. He was full of information about events leading to the elevated system. Also, so much information about the buildings surrounding the areas we covered. The admission price is reasonable. The time allowed was sufficient but we would have enjoyed even more time.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy you enjoyed the Elevated Architecture Tour--it really is a unique way to explore the city. We hope to see you on more tours soon!
Steve the docent was extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain many concepts simply and concisely. We highly recommend this in depth tour regarding the “L” and Chicago history.
Thank you for the great review! The L tour is spectacular and we're delighted you enjoyed the tour. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again!
Barbara is a wonderful docent. This is our 2nd tour with Barbara. She is very experienced, talks clearly and gives lots inside stories.
Thank you for the terrific review! We are so happy you enjoyed the L tour with Barbara and hope to see you again!
Chicago Architecture Center has the best tours! This is one of many that we've taken and it did not disappoint. Chris P. did an amazing job with information and keeping us moving on and off the trains.
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the L tour with Chris and appreciate your continued support. We look forward to seeing you on another tour soon!
We have previously taken the CAC boat tour and one of the surface walking tours (both of which were great), but this time we wanted something with a slightly different perspective while staying downtown. We chose the Elevated Architecture Downtown ‘L’ Train tour led by Andrew, our CAC docent. As no one else had signed up for the tour that morning, it became a private tour. Andrew was not only very knowledgeable about the architecture and friendly, but also, given that he works in planning at the Chicago Metro, was able to take us on an even deeper dive concerning the “L”, its history, and some of the current challenges. As we were about 35’ about street level for the tour, we were also treated to a different perspective of the building and their design/decoration, something that cannot be readily observed from street level. Thans again to Andrew for an information and entertaining tour above the streets of downtown Chicago–truly a unique experience.
Thank you for the wonderful review! How lucky to get a private tour! We're so happy you enjoyed the Elevated Architecture tour and hope to see you again the next time you visit Chicago!
Andrew led our tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. You could tell he enjoys architecture and made you enjoy hearing about it. Overall a fun experience.
Thanks for the great review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the Elevated Architecture tour and hope to see you again. We appreciate the recommendation!
