It rained to much som the walk was cancelled. Instead we walked the old skyscrapers. That walk was very good. However it should bed one hour longer and include more indoor visits.

Tour guide was excellent. The tour was interesting and could have been made better by being longer so we could see more example of Art Deco in Chicago.
