About this tour

See Chicago through its architecture, from soaring downtown towers to the distinctive homes of Oak Park. This private Chicago Architecture Tour pairs an expert guide with chauffeured transportation, giving your group the flexibility to explore at your own pace.

Choose a 3-hour downtown route to admire landmarks such as the Willis Tower, John Hancock Building, and Wrigley Building, alongside Magnificent Mile details and historic brownstones. Depending on the route, you can make stops for skyline views, stroll beside the Chicago River, and discover notable building interiors. Or choose the Oak Park option to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home and Studio and see more than two dozen of his designs along Forest Street, including Unity Temple. The Oak Park option includes entry to the Home and Studio.

For a fuller day, combine both 3-hour options into a 6-hour tour. Your guide shares the stories and styles behind the city’s buildings, while private transportation keeps the experience comfortable and tailored to your group. Pickup and drop-off are available within Chicago city limits. Choose your route and discover the details that make Chicago Architecture Tour a memorable way to explore the city.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.57 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Chicago
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
