I had a wonderful experience with one of the most knowledgeable and kind guides. Learned a lot about the history of skyscrapers in Chicago.

Our tour guide Ed, a retired architect himself, gave us a great tour. He was quite knowledgeable, and his enthusiasm was infectious.

I met my tour guide, Rich, at the meeting point and the tour began promptly. Rich was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great history facts about the buildings and sites. Unfortunately, the bean was closed for construction, but I would love to revisit!

Rich was our tour guide and did a fabulous review of the history and architecture of Chicago. Then, onto the Chicago food which was amazing. Highly recommend this thorough tour of Chicago and especially with Rich. Thank you Rich!

We took the Must See Chicago tour today, and Beth did an awesome job as our tour guide. We love the CAC tours and have done several of them

On a recent trip to Chicago with our teenage son, we signed up for several architecture tours. Those offered by the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) were top notch, particularly the walking tour titled “Must-See Chigaco” led by David. The volunteer docents at CAC are both knowledgable and passionate about Chicago’s architectural gems, providing an exciting and informative experience. David was also very mindful of the comfort, safety and enjoyment of participants, ensuring that we had clear views of the subject under discussion while avoiding standing in the sun for long periods or walking into traffic. I would also highly recommend a visit to the CAC for their informative short film and an interesting scale model of central Chicago.

Our guide, Matt, was great. He told the stories and the facts with both knowledge and humor. I liked the higher pace which made us see much of the loop.

Nancy was our guide and she did a great job. It was pretty cold that day, so it was tough for our kids to hang in there for the entire 2 hour tour. However, I am really glad that we did it. It is obvious that Nancy is passionate about architecture and that always makes the difference!
