Reviews for Architecture Boat Tour on The Chicago River

Excellent tour! Hillary brought interesting perspective/facets to the architecture surrounding the river/lake. I will be looking to take the tour again when I return with guests! Thank you Hillary!

This was a great experience!! I highly recommend taking this boat tour. It was fun and very informative!!

Learned so much and I really enjoyed the sights!

It is absolutely the best tour! Captain Joe and David were amazing, witty, and knew plenty about the town, history, and architecture. It was such a fun time. You go past everything twice, so it's not rushed at all. I'd go back again for the experience thank you!

This tour it’s a must if you visit the city, the best way to catch the main part, the heart and the vibe of the place!!!

10s across the board!! By far my favorite activity on my Chicago trip. Our guide was so knowledgeable and absolutely hilarious!! You WILL be missing out if you don’t book.

Staff were very nice and helpful. Took my 84 year-old mom as she had never been to Chicago. She was very impressed with the tour. The tour guide was very insightful and came around several times for questions from the crowd. Great way to see the north side from the south side and hear the great history.

Everything was great, the guide we had was exceptional! The whole explanation was a 10!

Thank you for some good knowledge and good company

The guide was knowledgeable & witty! I loved learning all of the fun facts. The boat ride was the perfect amount of time and had snacks and even a bar available.

This is the best architectural tour I’ve been on so far! They mixed current events and history along with building architecture! It was very informative

Excellent experience, enjoyed the guided tour and the professionalism of the whole crew. Would definitely do again next time I visit Chicago.

We visited many places on our trip to Chicago, but the architecture boat tour was my favorite. Not only were many of the major buildings covered, but extensive info and backstory was given about those buildings, including the eras in which they were built, the architects responsible for them, and what they get currently used for. Even as someone who does not have an affinity for architecture, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Additionally, our tour guide. Hillary, was phenomenal and kept making jokes and keeping the tour engaging so as to not let us get bored, while also making sure to give an extensive background to many of the major buildings. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming on this tour as it is sure to be one of the highlights.

Love this boat tour for friends visiting. This 90 minute is the superior tour, and our guide was informative and fun. I highly suggest it for tourists and locals

Smooth ride, good food and drink options and the best guide ever! Hillary is the best! Very informative with a little humor mixed into her presentation. Everyone in my group had a blast!

Hillary was amazing! She was so fun and knowledgeable and did a fantastic job teaching us about architecture and history. Some of it might even stick ;) Not to mention the views of the city are gorgeous and the captain was very sweet and adorable as well. We went on this tour as part of my sister's bachelorette party and all of us really enjoyed it! Don't forget to wear your sunscreen, though! Thanks for the great experience y'all, I'm hoping I can do Hillary's walking tour sometime too.

The BEST architecture tour! I didn’t want to get off at the end. Hillary was a phenomenal tour guide as well. 10/10 recommend!

The tour guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining. I really enjoyed the tour. It was super well organized. Parking and accessing it was very easy.
