Great beautiful experience. Super knowledgeable tour guide made it very interesting. Would definitely recommend. But bring a hat or umbrella and wear sunscreen. It's very sunny, with little shade.

Our experience exceeded our hopes! We arrived 40 mins before our tour. Stopped at the ticket window to show our voucher and pick up physical tickets. It was a simple process. Boarding was timely and easy. The docent, Scott, was excellent. He taught us so much history and architectural details and added some great restaurant and bar ideas to enhance our visit. A+++
Take the tour. You won’t be disappointed!

The river tour was an incredible experience for me and my children. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough that my children were talking about the architecture hours after the tour ended.
Very thorough explanation...

Very thorough explanation of the architecture throughout Chicago. The ride was very smooth and if it gets too warm on the deck there is a bar inside with AC snacks and drinks. Right on time and smooth all the way around.
