your experience

Discover how Chicago rose from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire and came to be the leader in mainstream American architecture on this tour! The 60-75 minute cruise includes a rundown of the city's dramatic history and inside stories. All this, while taking you past the most important buildings in the city - something that is hard to accomplish on foot. Catch sight of the skyline from the Chicago River, and listen to the live commentary on board. You will have plenty of photo opportunities when you see the Willis (Sears) Tower, the Old Post Office, Wrigley Building, 360 Chicago Observation Deck, and more. The best part is that from May 29 to September 6 (i.e. from Memorial Day to Labor Day), each ticket includes a one-way water taxi ticket.

Notwithstanding the app indicating that Chicago was not served I found the Architectural Boat Tour on the Chicago River. Besides learning about the various buildings along the riverfront, it was entertaining. There was even a bar serving drinks below. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
