We really enjoyed the Loop Tour with Tom. Exploring Chicago’s beautiful buildings on foot in a small group was a great experience. We learned a lot and Tom’s extensive knowledge of Chicago’s history and architecture was so impressive. Would do this tour again!

Tom was extremely knowledgeable about the city and the buildings and related history. He took us in some fascinating buildings and had loads of stories. I lived in Chicago for a number of years in the 70s and still discovered how much I didn't know! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learns something about Chicago.

This was a tour that I set up for my husband, he loves architecture and I just went along. I am so glad I did, I learned so much from Tom. You could tell how much the history meant to him and he being able to share it with us. We went all over. We walked at a leisure pace with several bathroom breaks. I promise you will walk away from this tour smarter than we you started. They also have several other tours on their website Istoptours.com.

We are two architecture-fascinated folks from Oregon and NYC. Thanks to Tom's Skyscraper Tour (am) and Pedway Tour (pm), we have another home away from home. The morning was full of memorable sitings and explanations, never dull nor trudging. The Pedway tour surprised us for its urban usefulness and pop-to-beautiful-surfaces creativity. The following 4 days of our stay illuminated L Stop's excellent guidance: we were ever saying, "we saw [that building] yesterday...that's the building which Tom said [ ]...we're going [ ]; we can use the Pedway!" This is not the typical canned tour routine. Tom knows his city from the idiosyncratic details to the soaring structural beauties, and conveys his knowledge with personal attention to our interests. Enjoy!
