We were lucky enough to have a lovely sunny day for our cruise, to be honest I wouldnt fancy it when it is cold or windy! Get there quite early to get a good seat up top as they fill up quick. Our guide (cant remembr his name) was an older man and though he was certainly knowledgeable, after listening... More

My aunt recommended we take this and it was a highlight of our time in Chicago. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend!

If you love Architecture, this is a great way to see the city and learn about Chicago. I won't spoil it for you, but prepared for whatever weather condition might be. There's snacks and a bar on the boat as well. The only con is that tickets are non-refundable. I tried to change my tickets to a later time, 5... More

This is a great way to learn about some of Chicago's history and architecture. A docent for the Chicago Architectural Foundation shared his wealth of knowledge for 90 minutes.

The Architecture cruise takes you on a 45-minute journey through the river and canals and provides an amazing insight into the most iconic of Chicago's buildings, and includes some interesting, fun historical facts, as well. The buildings are incredible - nothing like Europe of course, but in the U.S., second to none. Take an extra jacket because the weather gets... More

This architectural boat tour was wonderful. The docent was very well informed. The 90 minute tour was thorough and showed the many different architectural styles in the city. Side note: the Bloody Mary's served in the bar were terrific!
