Michelle Taught Me Architecture Concepts - Michelle P not only provided a history of Chicago architecture, but I learned a heck of a lot about architecture concepts like what does “Modernism “ mean as opposed to “post-modernism “ ( and a whole lot more).

A travel through time with Chicago’s iconic buildings - I had a fantastic tour with Anna who shared a lot of interesting information and insights into Chicago’s iconic buildings. The tour was a very good mixture of architecture, art and history of Chicago. The time passed quickly and I could have continued for much longer. I really enjoyed this tour and can only recommend doing it.

Wonderful introduction to the Chicago cityscape. - This was a fabulous introduction to the buildings and cityscape of downtown Chicago. Our guide Anna was friendly knowledgeable and fun. Even with a larger group, it was still a great experience and felt very personal. At 90 minutes long, it was the perfect length.
