Staff is charming and funny, drinks are a little light, and Id skip the picture they take at boarding unless youre keen on spending $30 for a printed picture of yourself. For the cost of admission, the picture should really be free or at least a reasonable price. They lose a star for that
The guide, Kevin, was amazing! Very knowledgeable, funny, and even sang us some blues. They sell drinks on board, have clean restrooms, and its family friendly.
Amazing tour, tour guide was superb ....we enjoyed tour.
Took the water taxi from Shedd Aquarium to Navy Pier. Was $10 per adult. Worth the rest from walking & you get some cool views of the skyline.
A great wat to go to and from navy pier and shedd aquarium. 15 min travel time on lake Michigan overlooking Chicago skyline. For just $10
Amazing your and fireworks
Kyle was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and funny

Great experience and good way to spend time in the afternoon/evening
During the afternoons there are very good views of the city from the lake and you may meet some historical character on the trip, but other than that there is not much to see on the tour

2022-05-25We booked the last architectural river tour of the day for 7:30 because we wanted to catch the sunset and skyscrapers all lit up , it was for 75 minutes and about 45$ each , our guide , the Spanish girl , Ashley was very charming and knowledgeable, kept us entertained and educated ….. it’s a must tour for enjoying the jaw dropping Chicago skyscrapers…. Though , it was super windy and cold and they didn’t had any inside sitting option

2022-06-21We were in town for a quick 2 day visit and booked this tour as seemed a must do for folks who appreciate the art and architecture of the city. Antonio was our guide and he was amazing! His knowledge of the history, architecture and engineering aspects of the city were so enlightening. From his bad cow jokes to food reviews it was total entertainment. The tour hits all 3 of the river arms and was just the perfect length (75 minutes) for the 100° day. Boat was comfortable and had clean bathrooms, full bar and snacks available. We consider ourselves lucky to have landed this tour

2022-08-08Loved all the tales and anecdotes of our hostess about the city and its architecture. Would love to go again, perhaps later in the evening the next time.

2021-07-08We booked the fireworks architecture tour. This basically starts right after the sunset tour and ends with a city-side view of the fireworks from the water. This happens Wednesdays and Saturdays from memorial day to labor day.Lane was our guide and he was awesome!Id recommend this to anyone local or visiting. Visitors schedule this as an early activity, as youll see a lot of places on the tour that you may wish to explore!You get a really good look at the city and pick up quite a lot of history. I grew up here and still picked up lots of information that I didnt know.We got rained on while in line but as soon as we boarded ponchos went out. Hot drinks arent terribly expensive (cider and hot chocolate were both hot and run about 3 bucks)The tickets cost me about as much as the dinner we ate beforehand. If I had to choose the nice dinner or the tour it would hands-down be the tour.Ill be doing this again, maybe the lakeside one.My 8 year old was entertained all the way up until we were about to stop for the fireworks.

2022-06-21Fantastic tour!! It starts with a breathtaking view of the city skyline and then takes you through the heart of the city. Lots of seats on board, amenities and bar, and the tour guide was very entertaining. Definitely recommend!!(P. S. I dont remember the tour guides name, but he is in my pictures - please give him my compliments - he was exceptional and gave us a very memorable experience on board!! 😃)

2021-10-29We did an Architecture tour which we throughly enjoyed. Erica was our tour guide and filled with knowledge (and puns!) of Chicago architecture and history. Definitely a lot of fun facts for a 75min tour!We did have some drizzle on the boat but most had rain jackets (and it didn’t stop Erica with telling us the fun facts!).Seats are the front of the boat, either side uou get great views

2021-06-18Let me start off by saying I wish they stated which boats don’t have canopy’s! Now our “storyteller” was a recent graduate named Sam I believe. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept with the “dad” jokes and I kept me chuckling. The bar tender poured good mixed drinks from what I saw. Even better juice, since I can’t drink. The captain made the boat ride very smooth, had no complaints about the crew.

2021-07-05This is best experience I had in Chicago. The architecture tour was truly informative. Our guide Jake was knowledgeable and provided great history/information/stories about the buildings. This tour made me appreciate the beauty of the buildings.
