Hello. My name is Lynn. I have been guiding guests in Chicago for 20 years. I completed rigorous training from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, and the historic Glessner House.
Born and raised in the Chicago area I am a former teacher. As a tour guide, I now have the best classroom (Chicago) and the best students (my guests). I would love to share my favorite city with you. So, join me; won’t you?

Tour description
(If you prefer another day or time, please contact me with your availability. I will do the best to accommodate your schedule.)
Since 1884 when the world's first skyscraper was built here, Chicago has been known for its world-class architecture.
We will explore some of the City Landmarks and Nationally registered buildings. We will walk through time from the oldest to the newest buildings on the river and you will be introduced to the varied styles of building design, methods of construction and some of the world-class architects and building engineers who have sculpted the city skyline over the years. Come for the tour; stay for the surprise at the end.
