Every second was full of descriptions about the buildings, and our tour guide was excellent. Would have loved more Chicago history.

This was a fantastic Architectural Chicago river cruise. Our guide was fantastic - informative and witty, keeping the narrative lively and interesting for a full 90 minutes. I never dozed off once, a record for me!

We were fortunate to be in Chicago on a beautiful weekend in October on a balmy day, so my husband and my father decided to do a cruise. Our hotel's concierge recommended this one as the best. She was right. Our guide was very knowledgeable and an excellent speaker, entertaining, but never corny. We went way up the river to... More

We went on a pretty nice day, so we could comfortably sit on top and look up at all the buildings. If you have Victor as your tour guide, I would sit on the left side of the boat, if possible, since he would mostly talk about buildings on the right. Since I sat on the bench that ran along... More

this is the first time we visit this wonderful place, we bought the Chicago Card to take the Architectural river cruise - at no charge! the building and the views are awesome, the speaker is very well in telling story behind every single building/sculpture, totally love it and enjoy this place, will definitely go again!

UNLESS YOU WANT TO STAND throughout the entire 90 minute tour, or are lucky enough to get one of the very few, unobstructed view seats. I have taken other architectural boat tours in Chicago and was extremely disappointed in this one! Our boat was not built to accommodate this type of tour! There was only 1 level on this boat...

The Architecture Tour is a great bargain. Ninety minute tour at half price can't be beat. I paid $45 for 3 people and we had a great time on the water. Get a seat near the rails for a chance to take some great pictures. My only complaint is that there was supposed to be snacks, but after only being... More
