Visite à pied de Chicago : gratte-ciel Art déco au bord de la rivière
Description
Visitez les halls de cinq somptueux gratte-ciel Art déco construits près des rives de la rivière Chicago pendant le boom des affaires des années folles. Découvrez comment l'Art Déco reflétait l'optimisme amusant de l'époque avec des matériaux somptueux et des ornements géométriques. Découvrez les origines de l'Art Déco tout en admirant des bâtiments comme le Carbide and Carbon Building (maintenant Pendry Chicago), le Chicago Motor Club Building (maintenant le Hampton Inn) et le bâtiment coloré, mais souvent négligé, Trustees System Service Building (maintenant la Century Tower) – qui sont tous désignés comme des monuments de Chicago.

Mitch was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. Loved the buildings and historical details.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Art Deco tour with Mitch and appreciate the 5 stars. We hope to see you again the next time you visit Chicago!
This was an opportunity to see the beautiful art deco interiors of buildings. Our guide,Nick, had a wealth of knowledge on the art deco designs and the history of the buildings. Tour is an ideal complement to the exterior walking tours.
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Art Deco tour with Nick and appreciate the kind words. We hope to see you again the next time you visit Chicago!
We did the art deco walking tour with CAC. We had a wonderful guide, Betsy J, , who was enthusiastic and extremely well informed. Betsy and the tour far exceeded our expectations. She moved the tour along at a brisk pace but stopped to explain architectural details and answer questions along the way. Highly recommend. Thanks Betsy!!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the Art Deco tour and appreciate the recommendation. We hope to see you again!
Great tour led by knowledgeable volunteer who takes you inside architectural treasures!
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Art Deco tour and hope to see you again the next time you visit Chicago!
Excellent way to explore Chicago and learn more about its history and architecture. Loved our guide (Jennifer) who took time to show us big and small details. The weather was perfect (with the right amount of wind to remind us we are in Chicago) and left the tour wanting more. We were given headsets before the walk started which meant we could hear our guide even in the bustle of the city. One other comment about the tours organised by the CAC: the guides all volunteers who love their city and enjoy sharing it with others. None of them accepts tips. This deserves a special shout out. Strongly recommended.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Art Deco tour and hope to see you again the next time you visit. We appreciate the recommendation!
This was really good, particularly after the boat tour as we got to go inside the buildings. Mary Jane was very informative and easy to talk with.
A River Cruise followed by the Art Deco walking tour is a GREAT combination. Thank you so much for touring with us. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your experience and hope to see you again the next time you visit Chicago!
I grew up in Chicago and had family visiting from out of town. We took a walking tour with the Chicago Architecture Center. The tour guide was fantastic. While I already knew a lot about Chicago history, I never toured the buildings we saw. I learned so much more about Chicago’s rich history and architecture. If you have a few hours, the tours are worth the time and money.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy you and your family enjoyed the Art Deco tour and appreciate the recommendation. We hope to see you again soon!
Mitch was our guide and he was terrific. He got us into great places to view the. Buildings out of the pouring rain! He was informative and very conversational, had lots of info, and asked for questions at every stop
Thank you for the fantastic review! As you experienced, our docents are trained in architecture, design and Chicago history AND in navigating a tour during rainy days. We're delighted you enjoyed the Art Deco tour and hope to see you again!
Fantastic tour and guide! Amazing to get into the buildings and see and earn about the details
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the Art Deco tour. The interiors on this tour are stunning! We hope to see you on more tours soon!
We loved this tour. I knew a little bit about Art Deco but learned a lot. It’s a nice, compact tour and our guide managed to get us through the crowds downtown on a gorgeous day. I really appreciate the sound system they use. The tour does not end back at CAC so we missed their fabulous gift shop!
Thank you for the great review! We are delighted you enjoyed the Art Deco Riverfront tour and hope to see you on more tours soon!
