Chicago Architecture Tours

Category: Attraction

The Chicago Architecture Foundation offers a wide variety of tours, including bus tours, walking tours and a boat tour on the Chicago River. You can choose from a number of bus tours, such as Bungalows By Bus, which features the Chicago bungalows built between 1910 and 1940, or the Frank Lloyd Wright Bus Tour where you'll see samples of his unique architecture in the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District. An example of a walking tour is Evanston Along The Lake, which takes you through the Evanston Lakeshore Historic District where you'll see Romanesque and Georgian style churches, Queen Anne, Tudor, Italianate residences and more.

From May through November, the Foundation offers its narrated Architecture River Cruise, highlighting at least 50 architecturally significant sites. Both cruise vessels, Chicago's First Lady and Chicago's Little Lady, offer both indoor and outdoor seating and a snack and beverage bar.
