Chicago City tour - from inside these amazing buildings
Christine_L, Mar 2023
Absolutely loved this tour. Tom is a great tour guide and knows and loves his city. Learned so much about Chicago and its buildings. Real highlight is getting inside the buildings and seeing some of the most amazing architecture. You can walk through Macy's and not see the incredible tiled dome, just look up.
First trip to the windy city

A great tour in Chicago
Michael_L, Jun 2021
Our guide was very personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He paced the tour in such a way that we could appreciate and enjoy the history and architectural details of the many sites we visited. He went above and beyond most guides in ensuring we had an enjoyable learning experience. I highly recommend L Stop Tours when visiting Chicago.
