Great tour with CAC. We did several tours so we joined the CAC to save some money. I believe our guide was Russ. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He knew the City very well and was able to turn back time to allow you to see the buildings as the builders and owners saw them, as an expression of the importance and power of Chicago. He gave us great recommendations for other sights in the area also.

Awesome tour of the Art Deco skyscrapers in Chicago. Our tour guide was very informative on the architects that designed each skyscraper and provided detailed information on the background of the short lived Art Deco movement.
