“I love the walking tours because I learn something every time plus it forces me to walk a little slower the next time I'm strolling next to these great buildings we have in Chicago.” –Alisa R. Chicago, IL

World Class Docents

All tours are given by Chicago Architecture Foundation-certified volunteer docents that have received hundreds of hours of training about Chicago architecture and history. More than 450 docents lead more than 5,500 tours annually. Why? Because they love it. Our docents are what make CAF tours the very best in Chicago—come see for yourself.
