Chicago has such a rich history and a great collection of architectural treasures and this CAC tour was a fun way to learn more about buildings that we see every day. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was able to hear all the great details and answer questions. Definitely worth doing!

We really enjoyed this tour! The tour guide was very informative and the amount of walking and viewing was just right. It was a great way to learn something about the history of Chicago as well as the history of architecture, and we would never have gone inside some of these buildings on our own to see the marvelous decorations in their foyers. Highly recommended!

Beautiful walk, weaving through streets and peeking down alleys to catch views of towers and sunlight, then along the river with its borders of exciting new and old buildings. 90 minutes flew!
