Chicago is known around the world for its architectural feats, both inside and outside of the buildings. From the 100-year-old Art Deco, Neo-Classical, and Gothic Towers, to some of the tallest modern-day skyscrapers, Chicago is where old meets futuristic architectural endeavors. It has something for everyone in a way that no other city replicates today.

We are born-and-raised Chicagoans ourselves, passionate about the community that we know and love. That passion and desire spills into all of our tours, drawing on personal experiences for curating a tour that just can’t be duplicated by a book or a movie. We want you to experience everything firsthand.

    I have been in Chicago many times and I had never done this. What a mistake. The tour was lead by Capt Jim. Can’t remember his name but as an Architecture Hstory buff, he had all the knowledge, terminology and great commentary. 1 1/2 hours perfect time. The bar was excellent and the staff very friendly. Some refreshments (not alcoholic) included
