We loved the architectural tour on the river. The guide gave constant information about the buildings and history of Chicago. I got some great photos, but I would suggest getting on early and sitting near the front of the boat or near the side. We only wished we could have start the tour at Navy Pier and seen some of... more

Perfect way to see the city for a great price. They offer a cash bar which makes it all the more relaxing. Plenty of great photography opportunities. A must do! more

My mother and I along with my baby rode on this. This was part of our summer value pass. It was a nice way to see part of the city with some info given along the way about some of the buildings and the light houses. I say if you are at the Navy Pier give it a try. more

We absolutely loved the architectural tour that took us through the city. It was very informative, yet very fun. Even our kids (ages 6 & 11) loved it! The docent was very knowledgeable about the architecture & also very entertaining. The tour was included with our Go Chicago Cards, but it would definitely be worth paying for anyway. more

Loved our tour. Very informative, interesting and pleasant ride. $28/adult for a 1 hour ride. Signed up at the Navy Pier. Would highly recommend. more

Super informative which was hard to believe in just an hour's time. The beautiful weather that afternoon made it really enjoyable too. Clean restrooms, nice staff welcoming folks on board and at... more

The 1 hour River Architecture cruise is excellent. They have a skyline tour which is only 1/2 hour, but you’ll miss a lot of interesting information. Shoreline Sightseeing has tours every half hour, so there’s never a long wait. It’s not necessary to get tickets in advance online unless you want to get on one of the combo architecture/fireworks cruises... more

The Chicago River Tour is a fabulous way to see Chicago. If you love Architecture then you will absolutely love this tour. Along the way you will learn about 50 architecturally important buildings of Chicago told by a expert-narrated guide. I learned about the 1871 Chicago fire , the move-able bridges, Grant Park and history of Lake Michigan. It’s a... more
