Informative, great drinks and clean bathrooms. I hope you get Rebecca as a tour guide. I felt like she was an architect herself. She was so informative, It was as if she knew personally each and every architect over the past 150 years.

No better way to experience the rich architecture of Chicago. Knowledable tour guide, who spoke in a way that people with English as a second language could follow.

We did not get to go on this experience because your directions for parking were so bad that we never could find parking and miss the boat
