One of the best moments of our trip to Chicago was this tour. It was conducted by Antonio, who was a wonderful guide and proffessor, not only provides info but does it in a funny way. The tour is worth if you want to know a bit of history about the city origins and learn about the architechtural styles of the buildings.

I’ve never been on a river boat tour, nor taken an architecture tour before, and this was absolutely fantastic! The views are incredible, the information was interesting, and the tour was the perfect length in time. We went on the 75 minute tour, and our guide Patrick was incredibly insightful, witty, funny, knowledgeable, and precise. His narration and guidance on the tour made the buildings of chicago and their history come to life! He was very captivating and all of his information was very well researched. My one recommendation is to bring a blanket/BIG COAT if you’re coming anytime outside of the summer, it is very windy and cold (hence the name the Windy City haha). I will definitely come back in a few years when the city skyline has changed again.
