Tess is a great tour guide. We really enjoyed seeing so many different architectural styles. Liked the Jeanne Gang building
Fantastic!
I think this is one of the best tours I have ever been on! It was 90 minutes of fun and educational tidbits. Our guide was personable, funny, and very knowledgeable about the city. I learned more than just about the architecture of Chicago. I learned a lot about the city itself. This is a must do by everyone!
