We love this architecture cruise! This is the second time my husband and I have gone on this tour. We brought his mother from London! She loved it. It's really educational without being overwhelming. And it's beautiful. It's such a unique way to see the city. It's the #1 thing I recommend to those visiting the city. (Our tour guide was great. But he went on and on about how you HAVE to leave downtown and how being downtown was horrible and touristy. As a Chicagoan, I agree. But it was a little over the top and aggressive the way he kept saying it. He also didn't recommend other neighborhoods to go to. If you're going to make a big deal of it, you better recommend neighborhoods and places to go not downtown.)

Took the 745 pm tour and loved every moment! Our tour guide was beyond knowledgeable of each building and even added in some jokes and yes he was actually funny lol. best part of the cruise for me was learning that the dark night movie was filmed here and actually seeing some of the buildings like the bank the joker robbed in the beginning of the movie! Highly recommend taking the Wendella boat tour

Our docent was spectaular! So informative, with a dazzling display of ingtresting facts about what we were sailing by. She not only told us about each building (when it was erected, how many floors, how much office space, etc.) she also named the architects behind the creation of the building! We all enjoyed the boat tour very much. (And she gave us a great suggestion for lunch when all done

Our family of 5 all loved this cruise. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had some wonderful stories to tell as we sailed along the river. We learned a lot about the area, buildings and got quite the history lesson. Time went by way too quickly. I highly recommend this cruise. The skyline is absolutely gorgeous. You will not be disappointed.

We, my nieces & I loved the river cruise. I've lived in Chicago for years and only went on the cruise because my nieces wanted to. They live in London. It was astoundingly wonderful!! A delightful experience! I learned so much I had never known though I had worked in the Sears tower for many years. A cruise you should definitely experience!!

The cruise was excellent, on time, friendly staff, excellent views and knowledgeable tour guide. My only suggestion is the guide should talk slower and more distinctly. There were many foreigners who could not understand what she said. Thus, we did not hear or respond to some of her jokes. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant experience!

The tour was very educational. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and she was very eloquent in her commentary. She really engaged us during the tour and it was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend that to my friends who visit the city.

The architectural boat cruise was a great way to see the city and learn about the buildings while enjoying a break from walking. The tour guide was very informative. It was nice to be able to walk around the boat and get different views too!
