A Guide to Chicago's Iconic Architectural Tours
In Chicago, history is never hidden from view. It's all around in the Art Deco buildings, Chicago School skyscrapers, residential greystones, and bungalows in neighborhoods all over the city. Architecture provides a window into Chicago's past, and our real estate agents are excited to share some of the best architecture tours in Chicagoland.
- 90-Minute Architecture Boat Tour - 900 S Wells St, Chicago, IL 60607
Some of Chicago's most stunning architecture, including the glimmering downtown skyscrapers, is best viewed from the Chicago River. This 90-minute Architecture Boat Tour begins at River City Marina and includes all three branches of the Chicago River. With narration from your expert guide, you'll learn about varying architectural styles through the decades, including riverside neighborhoods like Streeterville and River North. - Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park - 951 Chicago Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302
Few architects had a greater impact in the 20th century than Frank Lloyd Wright, an architect renowned for his prairie-style homes. In Chicago's Oak Park suburb, Wright designed 29 houses that are still standing — more than anywhere else in the world. The Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park walking tour visits nearly a dozen of them, starting at the architect's own home and studio. - Walk Chicago Tours: The Gold Coast - 1601 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60614
The Gold Coast is a neighborhood that sprang up after the Great Chicago Fire, and its Georgian, Romanesque, Tudor, Queen Anne, and Art Deco mansions remain some of the most in-demand real estate in the city. Explore this luxurious and historic neighborhood on a Gold Coast Tour from Walk Chicago Tours, starting at the Chicago History Museum. - Sightseeing River & Lake Cruise - 112 E Wacker Dr, Chicago, IL 60601
The Chicago skyline is in full view on this Sightseeing River & Lake Cruise aboard Chicago's Little Lady, a state-of-the-art vessel that explores both the Chicago River and the Lake Michigan shoreline. Experience Chicago's breathtaking skyline and hear from an expert guide all about the city's skyscrapers, bridges, and landmarks. - Inside Chicago: The World Within - 425 S Financial Pl, Chicago, IL 60605
While many tours focus on the exterior facades of Chicago's buildings, Inside Chicago's The World Within tour invites guests to see the architectural marvels inside them. This walking tour visits a curated selection of Downtown Chicago's most spectacular historic buildings, including famous sites like The Rookery — a masterpiece by Chicago architects Burnham and Root — as well as many unique hidden gems. - Architecture of the Magnificent Mile - 111 E Wacker Dr, Chicago, IL 60601
One of Chicago's most iconic streets, the Magnificent Mile, is a glimmering stretch of luxe retailers, trendy restaurants, and posh hotels. But this glamorous thoroughfare was once a dusty dirt road, and you'll learn all about its evolution on the Architecture of the Magnificent Mile walking tour. The tour is hosted by guides from the Chicago Architecture Center, and it begins at the center's headquarters. - Craftsman Bungalows of Ravenswood Manor - 4626 N Manor Ave, Chicago, IL 60625
One of the home styles that has come to define Chicago's residential areas, craftsman bungalows are common in several neighborhoods, but especially in Ravenswood Manor. The Craftsman Bungalows of Ravenswood Manor tour from Doorways of Chicago provides insight into the early 20th century, when the Arts & Crafts movement and visionary real estate pioneer William E. Harmon shaped this charming neighborhood.
