Best in-depth tours - Mary Ann S. was our guide. She was knowledgeable, funny and enthusiastic. Highly recommended! I would love to tour with her again. CAC tours are the best.

Highly recommend - I highly recommend this tour. It was very informative and gave you a snapshot of some of Chicago‘s most iconic buildings along with information about the architecture of the city throughout the decades. Our tour guide was Sandy, and she was very informative and knew a lot about the city, I love that she took us into a few buildings that weren’t on the regular tour. I also recommend visiting the architectural center before or after your tour because it had a lot of great information.

Excellent historical walk through time - 90 mins of deep content discussion whilst on a walking architectural tour of downtown Chicago. We all really enjoyed spending time with Suzie, a fantastic guide with deep content knowledge. Thanks for everything.

If There's a guide reviewer along, take the next tour - We had a tour guide who was being reviewed during our tour. With only two of us on the tour, it had interesting information but we really felt neglected by our guide who was very focused on her reviewer and not on us. I rated this VG because the content was still decent and well, it IS Chicago!
