Chicago was one of the first municipalities, and the largest, to legislate the incorporation of public art into its building plans. Today more than 200 other cities throughout the United States have similar ordinances, due in large part to the success of the Chicago ordinance. On this two-hour guided walking tour, explore Chicago's Loop, located along the lakefront in the heart of the downtown business district. Within just a few blocks, you'll see and learn about an abundance of art and architecture that makes the city such a fascinating feast for the eyes. You'll start at Daley Plaza, where you'll see the Picasso statue, and end at the Chagall mural in Chase Plaza. In between these two points you'll hear enough interesting art and architecture facts to keep you supplied with cocktail party conversation for the foreseeable future.

* Additional fees apply.

2+ hours with a very knowledgeable guide around the loop. Even as a life long Chicagoan, I learned and saw many things I was not aware of before. Excellent guide, highly recommend!!

So interesting! We learned so much & saw so many things we never would have on our own. Our guide was knowledgeable & enjoyed what she did even though it was a windy cool day. I will definately do another tour the next time I'm in Chicago. A very good value!

Paula was very well versed in the sites chosen for the tour. It covered many major art pieces plus had anticidotes about architecture form and function. Would highly recommend it to anyone, even us native Chicagoans. We had a great time.
