With so many buildings and architecture to see, which ones are the most significant and relevant? This is where the tour comes in. The tour guide did not disappoint; you enter into some of the buildings where if you go by yourself, you wouldn’t dare. The tour is awesome and it leaves you with a nice feeling of appreciating the architecture of the city. Buildings we entered: Chicago Cultural Center Palmer House Marshall Field and Company Building - this is the Macy's store, its public, but the surprise is something that you wouldn't see if you are wandering by yourself (Ceiling with Tiffany Mosaics). Impressive and highly recommended.

The tour took us to see the inside of 3 buildings: chicago cultural center, palmer house, and reliance building. The first two were very beautiful inside. We went on a Saturday and there were 2 weddings going on at the cutural center. So we were not allowed to enter the rooms. So perhaps Saturday would not be a good time to go on this tour.

The tour involves walking round a number of buildings built in the 1870to 1920 period, the Golden Age of architecture in Chicago, having them explained enthusiastically by an excellent and informative guide, at a level anyone can understand. Viewing both outdoors and indoors, we saw facets we would never have noticed on our own. The tour was the best we took in Chicago and gets our top vote of things to do there, even excelling the city boat trips.
