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.)

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

There were so many things I enjoyed about the forty-five minute architectural tour. It was an superb value, the length was just right for all the other things we wanted to do that day, super-easy to get to by public transit, and Kaye, our guide, was informative, fun, and humorous. We wanted to adopt her! I would definitely take this tour again with other vistimg guests!

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.

Our 90 minute river tour was absolutely amazing! The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. All the staff was helpful and friendly. The tour lasted exactly 90 minutes which was great because it didn't interfere with our next plans. I highly recommend!

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 90 minute Architectural Cruise was surprisingly relaxing. The announcer was wonderful, with his extensive knowledge of Chicago's architecture visible from the barge. I especially loved his lighthearted delivery style. The view of the buildings was great, unobstructed from any part of the barge.

John our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the architectural history of Chicago, records made & broken, myths about the Great Chicago Fire. We learned how Chicago got its name, where "The Windy City" nickname came from and the importance of Chicago winning the World's Fair.

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!
