This was for the Wendella tour.
We took the Architecture river tour on a beautiful day. The cost was $44 per person.
I would suggest you get to the bar very early or later in the tour.
The tour was 90 minutes and had very little time where something was not being discussed. All of the information was very interesting even to people who do not know or care much for architecture.
I would recommend this trip if you want a nice tour of the downtown river area.

Scott couldn’t have been a better guide. Equal parts informative and entertaining. Hope to get another tour with him one day.

Great tour!
Big boat and very comfortable.
The view from Lake Michigan is incredible and the tour really spent some time out there just looking at the skyline.

The tour guide was rude. Told us we needed to quit talking. The ride itself was fine. We came to have fun and not be in church and be quiet.
