5Informative lake and river cruise
My husband and I both enjoyed this 90 minute lake and river cruise. We learned a lot about the architecture and history of Chicago from our knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. Highly recommend!
3The speaker was...
The speaker was interesting but we were disappointed in how the time was spent. We hadn't realized that the tour was going through locks and that took too much time away from the actual river cruise and discussion about the architecture.
5The tour started and...
The tour started and ended exactly on time, was really fun and informative, I'll definitely take the tour again when I'm back in the city. Great views and explanation of history, and an easy ticket buying and check on process
5Great experience on the river
This is the second time we have experienced the architectural river tour. Learned new stuff and the crew aboard the boat was friendly and accommodating as they were the last time. This is definitely an interesting and economical experience for anyone who lives here and wants to learn more of Chicago’s history or someone from out of town that just wants a nice afternoon. !

About Chicago
Chicago is a Great Lakes city on Lake Michigan, famed for skyscraper architecture, deep-dish pizza, blues and jazz and a long lakefront of parks.
Chicago rebuilt itself after the fire of 1871 and became the cradle of the skyscraper. The Chicago River runs through the Loop, where tall towers rise, and boat tours explain the architecture from the water. Millennium Park's mirrored Cloud Gate sculpture, known as the Bean, and the Art Institute of Chicago, with its Impressionist paintings, are close together. Willis Tower has a glass-floored observation deck.
Top-ranked sights in Chicago: Navy Pier, Wrigley Building, The Magnificent Mile.
