Marvel at the magnificent architecture on the Chicago River with expert tour guides! All ages welcome.
Each architecture river tour is narrated by a professional guide which leads passengers down the Chicago River to discover the city’s most renowned landmarks. In addition to historical insight on well known structures such as the Civic Opera House, Trump Tower & the Merchandise Mart, passengers will also get a chance to learn about current and upcoming developments. This Chicago River Cruise is the only cruise that navigates the three primary branches of the river including the main branch to Navy Pier, the north branch to Goose Island, and the south branch to Chinatown. It is also the cruise closest to Skydeck, has the least expensive parking, and is great for those coming from the suburbs due to its location off Interstate 290.

Wrigley Building
Located in the center of the Magnificent Mile, and steps from the Michigan Avenue Bridge, The Wrigley Building has been a hallmark of Chicago’s skyline since 1920. Designed as the headquarters for the successful chewing gum, the building was modeled after the Seville Cathedral’s Giralda Tower in Spain. Today, it is still home to Wm Wrigley Jr. Company, and is perhaps best known for its dazzling white towers that illuminate the city at night.
Willis Tower is the heart of downtown Chicago and the future of work and play. The 110-story building is one of the tallest buildings in the world and the second tallest building in Chicago, making it impossible to miss when appreciating the city’s skyline.

We literally did this tour on this first snow of the season BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. The 90 minute 3:00 pm tour turned out be the sunset tour due to it being november so we got amazing pictures! Heath was entertaining and informative!

Great architecture cruise. Our guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable about both the history and engineering of the buildings along the river and Chicago in general.

My sister, dad, and I went on this tour and were blown away by how great it was. David, the tour guide, was informative and funny. He truly knows his stuff and incorporated alot of history into the tour. He introduced himself as a docent, and that's truly what he was. My family and I really enjoyed learning about how the city came to be and how it has changed over time. Chicago has many beautiful buildings and a rich history, and this is the tour to take if you want to learn about it. The location was easy to find and get to. The gentleman checking us in was very friendly and helpful. It is also a family owned and operated business!

I’m very disappointed with my experience, as I did not receive the service I booked. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue, I was unable to get proper assistance from customer support. The representative I spoke with was unhelpful and kept referring me to the no-refund policy without offering any real solution.

This was my 1st architecture boat tour and it was amazing! Long route starting down by Sears Tower , funny captain and the most knowledgeable guide! Hillary provided so much info not only on the architecture of buildings, but a lot of excellent facts about the river and the city’s history itself. Very pleasurable seating arrangements (not packed in) and a bar on the boat if you need a cocktail. Highly recommend and we will definitely do it again!!

This was a perfect tour! The guide, Hillary, was fantastic. She does improv on the side, so right away you know she's going to be entertaining and she was! She peppered the tour with anecdotes that she's collected herself through her own research. What a self-starter! Her love and respect for the city is evident in every word. She was personable, knowledgeable, made sure we got good information, had high expectations for the tour, and delivered on those expectations! The tour itself was awesome - sunset over the Chicago River, watching the city light up the night. I'd do this tour again in a hot minute! Thank you Tours and Boats for an outstanding experience.
