Cameron W.Cameron W: Our docent was friendly, funny and obviously passionate about Chicago architecture. The buildings we saw from the water were quite impressive. A great way to see and appreciate the wonders of Chicago.

L H.L Hess: This was a great tour — totally worth it. Not just for tourists, either; it's genuinely interesting and lovely.
