Description

Explore the magic of the 'Windy City' on this tour through downtown Chicago. Marvel at the stunning architecture and delve into the history of the prohibition era—truly the best way to experience the city!

Chicago Architecture Tour

At the designated time, we'll meet at the Chicago Theater to begin this tour and discover the impressive architecture of the city known as the 'Windy City'. We'll also travel back in time to the Prohibition Era and see what life was like for locals back in the day.

First, we'll explore the Chicago Pedway, a network of tunnels used by locals to move around the city during the harsh Midwest winters. Then, we'll go back to the surface to continue the tour. We'll soon reach Chicago City Hall, one of the finest examples of classical architecture in the city.

Next, if the weather is amenable, we'll enjoy delicious Chicago-style popcorn as we stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk to see iconic buildings as Marina Towers, Reid Murdoch, and the Willis Tower.

From there, we'll continue discovering the beautiful architecture of the city admiring emblematic buildings like the Wrigley or the Chicago Tribune, the heart of journalism in the city.

Lastly, we'll stroll through the beautiful parks along Michigan Avenue until we reach Millennium Park, where we'll conclude the tour at 12.30 pm.

El guía es agradable y la ruta es interesante. Recomendable aunque no da tiempo a hacer fotos y el guía no se ofrece a hacerlas (como otros guias más dicharacheros). Al finalizar el tour volvimos a los sitios que más nos gustaron para verlos con calma.

Muy buena visita guiada con Moisés. Tuvimos la gran suerte de estar solos con él ese día y nos dio un excelente tour de Chicago. Moisés conoce muy bien su ciudad y sus edificios, y te cuenta su historia de una manera amena e interesante, se nota que le gusta lo que hace. Sin dudar, lo recomiendo ¡Muchas gracias Moisés por esa ruta! Sandra y Javier (Santiago de Compostela)

Recomiendo a todo el mundo a Moisés cómo guía , pasamos una mañana de lo más entretenida. La guía está muy centrada en la arquitectura de la ciudad , explicándote y mostrándote sitios y cosas que seguro pasarías por alto si no es por Moisés
