Though the Art Deco style throws us back in time, it’s actually a futuristic style — it’s meant to make people in the 1920s think of the future. The gleaming materials, the perfect precision of the details… it’s the epitome of glitz, glam, and elegance. On this tour, you’ll walk in the footsteps of those high on the potential of the future, before the infamous Crash of ‘29. We’ll explore several stunning interior spaces within the Loop and near the Chicago River, going inside not only the great Art Deco buildings of the Loop, but also a few buildings you’ll recognize from popular boat tours. But the great thing is that you’ll go where most boat tour guests won’t ever go: inside these gorgeous Art Deco buildings, where you’ll be amazed by the beauty that people don’t know is right there behind closed doors.
We make several interior and several exterior stops to explore downtown Chicago's most famous and beautiful Art Deco buildings from the 1920s through the 1930s.

Amazing experience and it’s a must do. We were just in awe of the things that we saw. Spencer was very energetic and with all the information we needed for the city.
Amazing interiors I never knew existed! Spencer was a great and knowledgeable guide. We loved the tour and wish we’d seen more.
Spencer was awesome! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who comes to Chicago!
Amazing expirience. Hilary is clearly a fantastic tour guide. It was interesting, engaging and really felt like she put not only her knowledge into it but also her soul.
Our guide was fantastic! He showed special places, told a lot, had humor, and certainly passed on his love for the city of Chicago to us.
Spencer was an awesome tour guide. His knowledge of architecture and the city of Chicago was amazing. We had a great time.
Book this tour immediately. What an amazing way to learn and appreciate the beautiful Chicago architecture. Our tour guide Spencer was so knowledgeable and took his time explaining/answering questions. Since we were a small group, he let the tour go long and brought us to some other incredible places. I can’t recommend enough!
