Learn about the great architectural landmarks of Michigan Avenue and State Street. The 40 years between 1890 and 1930 saw the creation of some of Chicago’s the most memorable buildings, many of which are featured on this tour. After the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, Chicago was determined to become a great cultural and commercial metropolis. This tour is a testament to that era's ambitions. See buildings by Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Holabird and Roche and other noted architects and hear the stories behind the city's architectural gems. As a certified nonprofit, all CAC ticket purchases directly support our education efforts and community engagement projects.

Our guide Natali give a very capable summary of Chicago's classic buildings - some very noticeable and some easily missed among all that Chicago offers. Although us foreigners weren't familiar with many names we did indeed pick up the story. So enthused we re-traced our steps for a second look. Nice to have headsets to hear everything at a pleasant level.

The tour was okay overall, but it felt like something was missing. While it was informative and well-organized, it leaned heavily toward a lecture-style presentation-more like a school field trip than an interactive experience. The guide was knowledgeable, but the delivery was a bit dry and didn’t quite bring the city’s rich history to life in an engaging way. I’ve taken other walking tours in Chicago that felt more dynamic and memorable, with better storytelling and opportunities to connect with the city’s energy. This one might suit someone looking for a more academic or structured overview, but if you're after something lively and immersive, this may fall a bit short.
