Discover how a dirt road known as Pine Street transformed into a "Paris on the Prairie" and later into the Magnificent Mile, the city’s premier shopping district. Hear the secrets and stories behind the striking buildings on North Michigan Avenue that have become architectural icons. Developed over the past 100 years, the street includes historically-inspired architecture in Parisian, Gothic, neoclassical and Art Deco styles sprinkled among Modern and 21st Century buildings. You’ll see skyscrapers, vertical malls, hotels, residential towers and some buildings that were designed to embody the brands sold inside. As a certified nonprofit, all CAC ticket purchases directly support our education efforts and community engagement projects.

I should have known that there was a problem with this provider since there was zero communication before the tour, unlike any other tour we have done. I found out the details of the tour only through Tripadvisor. When we showed up at the Chicago Architecture Institute Building as instructed, I was told that the tour was canceled. We never got any notice of the cancellation. We were also told that this was a common problem with this tour operation. Tripadvisor needs to take them off the site. If I don't get a refund immediately I will make a claim of fraud with my credit card company.

We had wanted to do a walking tour through the architecture center, and they booked up quicker than we expected. The Magnificent Mile tour was not our first pick but spots were available. The tour ended up being great and exceeded expectations. Shirlee was our guide and was full of enthusiasm and love for the city. Shirlee pointed out hidden features I'd never noticed before, even though I've lived in Chicago for years. We didn't actually walk that far, but still learned a lot. We're looking forward to trying another tour. One tip - if you have smaller ears, you may want to bring a pair of wired earbuds. The ones they use are quite large and were uncomfortable for me as a petite woman.
