Stop At: Chicago River, Chicago, IL

Chicago is known around the world for its architectural feats, both inside and outside of the buildings. From the 100-year-old Art Deco, Neo-Classical, and Gothic Towers, to some of the tallest modern-day skyscrapers, Chicago is where old meets futuristic architectural endeavors. It has something for everyone in a way that no other city replicates today.

We are born-and-raised Chicagoans ourselves, passionate about the community that we know and love. That passion and desire spills into all of our tours, drawing on personal experiences for curating a tour that just can’t be duplicated by a book or a movie. We want you to experience everything firsthand.

It was not good at all, the person who explained was not good , and need to make it better. The lady who gave us the explanation was not good and need to hire someone better.

Reservation information included close parking garage which was very helpful. Ed was a fun tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable about architects and their buildings, along with some trivia thrown in. Bring jackets (wind gusts on the water) and sun screen (even on partly cloudy day one if our fair skinned group got sunburned) Highly recommend this tour!

This is an amazing way to see Chicago and learn about it's history and the beautiful architecture established over the years. Our crew on the boat provided us with a calm relaxing 90 mins tour with some refreshments. Our docent was interesting, informative and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a sunny Sunday morning in the Spring. This is a MUST DO activity when you are in Chicago and this company does it right!

We did not make it there in time as traffic jam delays. You would not refund my money but the operator would have, but because I used your 3rd party service I could not get a refund for a valid reason and need to cancel. Lesson learned, I will book direct going forward with operators vs. using your 3rd party services. Unhappy customer!
