Concierges vouchers can be used the same day you fill them out, or with minimal advance notice. Vouchers provide easy access to the CAC and ensure guests are booked on a specific tour.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CAC EXPERIENCES YOU CAN OFFER YOUR GUESTS WITH A CONCIERGE VOUCHER.
1. Take A CAC Tour
One of the best ways to see the city is on the CAC's acclaimed architecture tours, led by expertly trained docents. We recommend guests arrive at least 15 minutes prior to tour departure time. Walking tours start at $26 and bus tours start at $35. Price includes admission to the CAC, valid up to 7 days before or after the tour.
WALKING TOURS (90 MINUTES)
We offer nearly 80 walking tours across the city of Chicago. Here are a few of our most popular you might want to recommend to your guests. Are your guests...
- New to architecture? Try the Walk Through Time tour

BUS TOURS
- For the most in-depth tour offered by the CAC, refer guests to Architectural Highlights by Bus (3.5 hours)

The Chicago Architecture Center is the city's new all-in-one architecture experience: a museum with two floors of fascinating exhibits and a gateway to more than 80 awe-inspiring boat, walking, and bus tours!
