Chicago Walking Tour: Art Deco Skyscrapers Riverfront
Beskrivning
Besök lobbyn på fem överdådiga art déco-skyskrapor som byggdes nära Chicagoflodens strand under affärsboomen under det rytande 20-talet. Lär dig hur art déco återspeglade erans roliga optimism med påkostade material och geometriska ornament. Upptäck ursprunget till art déco medan du beundrar byggnader som Carbide and Carbon Building (nu Pendry Chicago), Chicago Motor Club Building (nu Hampton Inn) och den färgglada, men ofta förbisedda, Trustees System Service Building (numera Century Tower) — som alla är utsedda Chicago-landmärken. Som en certifierad ideell organisation stöder alla köp av CAC-biljetter direkt våra utbildningsinsatser och projekt för samhällsengagemang.

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!
Sandy was passionate and knowledgeable Very pleasant experience Learned a lot and I now have more appreciation for the art deco buildings in Chicago. Highly recommend
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy you enjoyed the Art Deco Riverfront tour--those are some gorgeous buildings! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again the next time you visit!
What an incredible tour! Our docent Betsy was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely. We covered 333 N Michigan Ave (now a Chicago Blackhawks storefront), 68 E Wacker Place (the former home of the Chicago Motor Club), the Carbide & Carbon Building, Century Tower, the Merchandise Mart, and several smaller Art Deco gems along the way. I left with a deep appreciation not only for Chicago's architecture and the Art Deco movement, but even more so for the Chicago Architecture Center and people like Betsy, who pour such passion and energy into sharing these historically rich, culturally resonant stories. Kudos to this spirit!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Art Deco tour. Our docents are passionate about the city and its architecture and we're delighted Betsy brought that enthusiasm to her tour. We hope to see you on some of our other tours soon!
