It was amazing. I grew up in Rockford, IL and grew up going to Chicago a few times a year. But I never knew about its rich full history and of course its beautiful architecture. I know the boat tours are popular, but I recommend doing this one instead!! Going inside the buildings and learning about its history and viewing the ceilings and interior was amazing.
