Vé di động
Tour the lobbies of five opulent Art Deco skyscrapers built near the banks of the Chicago River during the business boom of the Roaring '20s. Learn how Art Deco reflected the era’s fun-loving optimism with lavish materials and geometric ornament. Discover the origins of Art Deco while admiring buildings like the Carbide and Carbon Building (now Pendry Chicago), the Chicago Motor Club Building (now the Hampton Inn) and the colorful, but often overlooked, Trustees System Service Building (now the Century Tower)—all of which are designated Chicago landmarks. As a certified nonprofit, all CAC ticket purchases directly support our education efforts and community engagement projects.

5.00Great tour, learned so much about these Art Deco buildings. I have walked by these buildings hundreds of times and didn't even notice the details until they were pointed out.

5.00Such interesting history in this city taught through the beautiful architecture. Cynthia was an excellent guide. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it.
Fair, but not first choice walking tour.

3.00It was ok, not great. Took quite a while to get rolling with much talk outside the building. Docent's microphone failed mid tour and much of end was near trains so hard to hear. Maybe this was shared but would have been good to know finishes at Merch Mart which would have led to more strategic parking location. I'd recommend sky scraper tour and other art deco ahead of this one.
I see the buildings in Chicago with a new appreciation

5.00Sandy was an excellent docent and provided interesting details about the buildings and could answer any questions. The walk was at an easy pace and we were able to enter most of the buildings on the tour to view lobby designs.

5.00I went on the Art Deco Skyscrapers - loop tour with a friend who was in town for business - we were celebrating her birthday. It was an excellent experience, despite the drizzly rain. The tour guide, Cynthia was very knowledgeable, worked hard to make sure everyone could hear and answered our many questions. I'm glad the tour was 1.5 hrs - I felt like we really got to see alot. I love art deco and architecture and learned a ton about the history of the period and the style. Enjoyed this immensely. I'm glad it was a small group outing and would love to do another tour in the future.
Great walking tour
