The knowledge and passion displayed by the tour guides on the history of the theatre and their engaging personalities and professionalism in answering all of the tour attendees' questions made the tour an awesome experience. We loved how we were able to experience the playing of the organ, especially the sound effects which we never realized the potential of an organ and its great significance to the events/performances of many shows performed at the theatre. The information and historical facts presented on the construction and renovation in bringing the theatre back to its original glory was such a refreshing story to hear especially in today's world where some of our historical structures/halls, etc. don't get a second chance. Great job and best wishes to your tour guides in reminding us of a very special place that should continue on for years to come in making memories and smiles.

To be honest we were not able to do this tour. But my review is for the way the theater handled it. There was several others who showed for the tour as well. We all bought tickets thru Viator. When we arrived the gentleman at the theater was really rude about it and did not even try to resolve the issue, which was, the theater only does tours on Monday and Tuesday. But it is still open for bookings on days the theater does not do tours. The theater is 100% responsible to remove the booking from the Viator site on days they are closed. Handled poorly by theater.

The tour was only 1 hour. Hearing about the historical aspects of the theatre was interesting. Would have liked to see more backstage and dressing rooms.

Wow! What a beautiful building. Loved the whole tour. Lots of time to absorb all the beauty. Or tour guide even played the original organ for us. Loved being on the stage and seeing the dressing rooms and wall where the performed sign their names. Would definitely recommend this tour.☺️

This tour was cancelled about an hour before it was scheduled. Very inconvenient and unprofessional. I would not book a tour through TripAdvisor in the future.

We arrived as instructed for what was clearly labeled as a behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Chicago theater.
There is no such tour. It does not exist.
We were told by theater security (who was kind enough to step outside and talk to us), that there has not been a tour of the theater in over three years.
Shame on you variator for advertising something that clearly does not exist.
I am awaiting my refund.

Booked a Behind the scenes tour of the Chicago theatre. Upon arriving to the theater they told us they don't do the tours anymore and stopped 3 years ago. Spoke to the customer service representative and he states it's a scam. I did get a refund issued but buyer beware??

There are no tours of the theatre. Was present with other customers, all of whom were unhappy with buying useless tickets. I emailed company for refund. Hope tour comes around my next trip here.
