Unique Walking Tour Unveils Chicago’s Biggest Architectural Mistakes

Have you ever stared at a Chicago building and thought, "Wow, that's...unique?" If so, then Tours with Mike's "Ugly Buildings Tour" might be the perfect adventure for you!

Chicago may be the architectural capital of the United States with a ton of awesome buildings to see and explore, but the unique "Ugly Buildings Tour" showcases some of the city's most questionable mistakes.

Chicago's 'Ugly Buildings Tour'

Most people who live in Illinois or surrounding states have been to Chicago a time or two or 100, but how many times have you really SEEN the city?

Chicago visitors, especially first timers,  flock to the popular hotspots like the city's "Magnificent Mile", Navy Pier, Millennium Park, The Bean, Wrigley Field, the Shedd Aquarium, or one of the city's amazing museums, BUT there's a whole other side to the city that Tours With Mike wants to show you.

This hilarious walking tour ditches the usual architectural wonders and instead focuses on the Windy City's most "interesting" structures.

By interesting, I don't mean worn down, ignored, or old buildings, I mean unusual architectural designs that many people think missed the mark.

Here's how the "Ugly Buildings Tour" is described on Tours With Mike's website;

This “educational roast” teases these buildings and creates a conversation on what makes a building pretty or ugly. These opinions are all subjective, so anticipate a lively discussion.

Sound like the kind of walking tour that's right up your alley? The "Ugly Buildings" tour is $30 per person, available most Saturdays through November, and it takes about 120 minutes. Click here to get your spot booked ASAP.
