Without a doubt, Chicago's skyline is beautiful from every angle - whether you're in a cab, on a sidewalk, or traveling through the train. But one of the best ways to soak in all of the amazing architecture in the city is through a boat tour on the river. Hop aboard this cruise and get a peek at the city's stunning skyline in just 40 minutes. You will be departing from Navy Pier and cruising along the coastline of one of the Great Lakes. Simply sit back, enjoy the commentary on board, and take in views of the skyline from Lake Michigan. This tour is ideal for both locals as well as first-time Chicago visitors.
