We learned so much about Chicago and the buildings we went to… it was awesome! Our tour guide was phenomenal and very well educated in the history of the buildings and Chicago as a whole. We had a great time. There were so many beautiful buildings we never even knew existed.
We live in Chicago but wanted to be a tourist in our own city. The tour was outstanding ! Spencer did a great job and you can really see his passion for and knowledge of the city. Highly recommend for out of town guest or long time Chicagoans to learn about hidden gems hiding in plain sight.
Use the bathroom in the station by the meeting point- tour is 2 hours long. Spencer was our guide- he was so friendly and informative & added his own personal experiences at each stop.
We saw Chicago from the Willis tower, from the river and by walking hours through the city. But going inside the buildings with a knowledgeable guide was so unexpected, never realized how beautiful this is. Thank you Dave for 2 hours of great stories.
Adam was a great tour guide! We learned a lot about Chicago’s history
Heath provided great insight on a number of historic buildings in the downtown area. The pace of the tour was perfect. His knowledge about the history of the buildings and the city is outstanding and I'd like to do it again if I get the chance. It's a great way to learn about the city for tourists, newcomers and long-time residents of the area. Well done, Heath!
Adam was amazing, I had so much fun! His tour was engaging and fun. Will definitely be looking into other tours by his group.
Spencer is the consummate tour guide. This was a great dive into all of Chicago’s beautiful interiors and history.
We had a fantastic time on this tour with our guide Spencer. It was an Incredibly detailed tour, jam-packed with Chicago history and fun facts. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Our guide, Heath, was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about the architecture and the arts in Chicago. We enjoyed his story telling and saw places I would have been unaware of if I had not taken the tour. The tour covered many blocks in the Loop but was an easy walk for anyone in relatively good health. I will definitely be recommending the tour to my travel clients, family, and friends. And when Heath tells you to check out the dome NOT on the TOUR in the The Cultural Building, make sure you follow his advice. It was absolutely stunning.
