Fascinating tour. Our guide had an amazing depth of knowledge and enthusiastic in her presentation. It was the perfect tour for a cold day since we got to go inside buildings as part of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

Learn about the great architectural landmarks of Michigan Avenue and State Street. The 40 years between 1890 and 1930 saw the creation of some of Chicago’s the most memorable buildings, many of which are featured on this tour. After the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, Chicago was determined to become a great cultural and commercial metropolis. This tour is a testament to that era's ambitions. See buildings by Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Holabird and Roche and other noted architects and hear the stories behind the city's architectural gems.

The tour was very informative. It exceeded my expectations. The duration of the tour was appropriate- not too short and not too long. I really enjoyed seeing all the different types of architecture and the history behind the buildings. The Tiffany pieces of art were jaw dropping gorgeous. Highly recommend.
