This was one of the highlights of our trip to Chicago last August. I really enjoy Art Deco architecture so I was delighted with this tour. The guide pointed out so many details of the different buildings. It was incredible. The guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer many questions. We were able to cover quite a bit during the tour which I believe was about 2 hours long. Now, when I visit art deco buildings in other cities, I remember some of the information that the guide shared which helps me to better appreciate these other buildings. I would recommend this tour to anyone who as an interest in beautiful buildings.

We joined Jane & six other brave souls yesterday in Chicago on the coldest day @ 7 degrees. Jane did such a good job keeping us interested in the architecture and not on various freezing body parts. The walking tour took us to many and varied styles of Art deco - a walking history of the beautiful art deco buildings and the amazing styles of lobbys (much appreciated relief from the outside cold). We truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend Jane & the tour.
