The Inside the Loop architectural Chicago Detours tour is an engaging and fun way to spend a beautiful few hours in Chicago. Amanda is a knowlegable and fun guide and the added mix of technology- using iPads to show additional photos and film clips- enhances the experience.

We took an architectural tour with Chicago Detours last Saturday. We even had a private tour! The other guests had to cancel, but Chicago Detours decided to continue with our tour. It was awesome using the ipad and learning about so many details about our great city. I highly recommend this tour. You won't regret it!!!

Our Inside the Loop tour was excellent. Amanda, the owner and our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and a very organized and informative presentation...loved the iPads, too! The frozen yogurt stop was a special treat, too! Thanks, Amanda for the "exit pack of goodies, too." We will definitely be spreading the word about this touring company.

Our "Good Times Historic Bar Tour," led by Amanda, was an awesome time. I was visiting from California but I would be very surprised if even well-toured locals did not learn something new and quirky on this voyage around Chicago. A highlight was touring around the fancy (and bizarre) social clubs of yesteryear. And by the end you'll have a... More

As one who has lived in Chicago for 9 years, I have investigated it pretty thoroughly. Nevertheless, I learned something new on the two-hour walking tour led by Elizabeth of Chicago Detours. Using iPads...very 21st Century that...three of us went via the Pedway about the Loop. Worth the while of tourist and local alike.
