Chicago Private Architectural Walking Tour 2 hr

See Chicago’s Loop through its architecture, public art, and storied landmarks on a private walking tour designed for your group. Over two hours, a local guide brings the neighborhood’s history and design to life, from the city’s commercial legacy to its cultural landmarks.

Begin near the Monadnock Building and explore the Chicago Board of Trade and the elegant Rookery Building. Along the way, admire Alexander Calder’s sculpture in Federal Plaza and learn about the Marquette Building’s place in the Chicago School of Architecture. The route also features the historic Palmer House, the former Marshall Field and Company Building, and the Chicago Cultural Center. Cultural and heritage commentary adds context to the buildings and public spaces you encounter, while a private format keeps the experience focused on your group.

This Chicago Architectural Walking Tour offers a close-up look at the Loop’s defining sights without the crowds of a group tour. Meet your guide at 53 W Jackson Blvd, then set out on foot to discover the stories behind downtown Chicago’s remarkable streetscape.
