    I had the best time with my grandfather on the cruise. He is older and struggles with mobility. This was the best way for him to see the city. Very relaxing. Our tour guide was extremely informative. #1 tourist attraction in Chicago

    We are very happy that we did this cruise! I would say the best cruise I've ever made. Our guide Charlie was a major part in this though. Without him that would only have been half as good.

    The view was exceptional! Wish the boat had priority boarding as an option. The boat was crowded. Overall the trip was memorable!

    I absolutely loved my experience on the Wendella Chicago River Architecture Cruise! The tour was both relaxing and educational, offering an incredible perspective of Chicago’s iconic skyline and its rich architectural history. Cruising through the river gave me a completely different appreciation of the city’s design — from the classic art deco buildings to the stunning modern skyscrapers. What I enjoyed the most was seeing the downtown view open up as we entered Lake Michigan — the panoramic view from the water was breathtaking. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, making the entire journey both fun and insightful. A truly memorable Chicago experience!
