As a Chicago resident, I feel that I have been to many of the great local restaurants & attractions, but today was the first time that I have experienced the Chicago river architecture tour. I learned a lot about the buildings, their styles, & architects, as well as enjoyed fabulous views of the city and would highly recommend it to others. A great lesson on Chicago’s history coupled with amazing scenery is a must for anyone visiting Chicago!
