About this tour
Discover the luminous details of Chicago’s Tiffany art glass on a 90-minute walking tour through the city’s remarkable decorative art landmarks. With a professional, certified guide, learn about Louis Comfort Tiffany and the craft behind installations created by the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company.
Chicago became an important showcase for Tiffany’s work after the chapel he designed for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition brought him wide attention. The city now holds one of the largest collections of Tiffany art glass in the United States. Along the walk, take in notable glass and mosaic installations, then visit the Chicago Architecture Center galleries, where admission is included. Your guide connects the artistry to the late-19th-century Arts and Crafts movement and its renewed appreciation for decorative glass.
Meet inside the north lobby of the Chicago Cultural Center at 77 E. Randolph Street. Building interiors featured on the tour may be unavailable because of weekend or holiday schedules or unexpected closures. Book your Chicago Tiffany art glass walking tour and see the city’s decorative treasures up close.

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.
