Really informative tour filled with great anecdotes and facts about the city and its diverse buildings. The tour guide was a Vietnam veteran and really knew his stuff. His passion was for Chicago certainly rubbed off on us. 45 minutes was a perfect length.

The whole process was so easy to organise. Booked the architectural tour online. Saved tickets to my phone, got an 2 to drop off as advised. Wendell Tours clearly signed so you knew where to go. The tour was just enough time to get a great look at the buildings and learn something about Chicago. If you are not interested in listening to the fast talking monologue I suggest bringing your headphones...will still be enjoyable and take some great photos.
