We recently enjoyed this river cruise last month. The 90 minute cruise is very interesting and the tour guide provided much information about the buildings along the river. She gave some history and background re: the Chicago Fire and knew many stories to keep everyone entertained. The tour itself is accessible to dock level since we were able to drop... more

The Chicago Architectural tour was an very insightful and interesting tour. It is amazing to really stop and really take a look at the beautiful architecture along the Chicago river and have the guide tell you the who, what and why of each of the buildings. I think it should be on the top of every Things to do in... more

A boat tour is a 'must-do' in Chicago, so we did the 8:00 am architectural boat tour because customers receive 50% off the ticket price for the the first tour of the day. We had great views of the city and our tour guide provided such interesting stories about the history of the city. We are glad we did it. more

Take the Chicago line boat tour. We rented the whole boat, the Marquette, that holds 50 people. Went all up and down Chicago River and out on Lake Michigan. Very informative but also fun too. Great way to see the City. They do a good job. more

The basic concept of the cruise is great-- learn about the architecture from the water. We took the 9 am tour on a Sunday morning, and the guide had problems speaking! She would say "uh...uh... it it it was built in... uh... in..." Very difficult to listen too. Also, she would point out the "white building", and there are dozens... more

We took the Architecture Tour at 9am on a Saturday morning. Weather was perfect. It was a 90 minute tour on the Chicago River. The tour moderator was excellent and knew her facts about not only the architecture of the building, but also some history of Chicago. We were able to see different sides of the buildings that you do... more

Chicago Line Cruises runs three large boats on numerous tours each day down the Chicago River. Located blocks from Navy Pier, the Ogden slip is situated on a spacious dock. I have been on 4 river tours, two of which were school field trips, and was not expecting to learn anything new from Chicago line's tour. But i found that... more
