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.

Tours and Boats Architect Tour was incredible. Our guide, Hillary, was terrific! We like that the tour starts and ends in a quiet marina away from all the other boat tours. We could hear Hillary very well, too.

This is a must do tour in Chicago, and the company Tours and Boats does it best. Our guide, as well as our captain were just superb. The tour guide, Don, was so good at his appreciation of both Archiecture and his wonderful city

This boat tour at 10:00 am on Saturday was fantastic! The dock is right next to inexpensive parking, which is a huge plus. The boat was comfortable and the views were great. The tour is more extensive than one I previously did because it goes out by Chinatown, which allows for a tremendous view of the city going back to the dock. The gal who was the guide was fantastic--she was extremely knowledgeable and made the trip fun. This is a great trip!!! I highly recommend it.

Was in Chicago with my daughter, who’s an architect, and her family to support her ruining the Chicago marathon. Bought tickets for the whole family and did the noon tour. It was a must do in Chicago and well worth the time and money

This was a wonderful tour, and a great way to spend 90 minutes on the Chicago waterways. Our guide was informative and funny and held everyone’s interest during the entire trip. 10/10 I would do it again!

The architecture tour was superb! Dave was a great tour guide and his enthusiasm and passion for Chicago and its history was infectious! I really enjoyed learning about all the various buildings in Chicago, their histories and the future of the city in terms of upcoming projects and developments. Would definitely recommend to any people visiting Chicago in the future!

Visited Chicago for the first time from Canada. Tour was awesome. The key I believe is having an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and humorous guide - which fortunately is what we had. Dave really made the tour great. The views were spectacular and the architectural overviews were really interesting. Was glad we had a lower deck to 'warm up' as it does get very cold up at the top (even for us Canadians! lol). However, if you bundle up head to toe then upper deck is great. All in all was a great trip and the Viator experience was great - from the text updates to the ease of having the Viator tickets added to our Apple wallet, to the communication provided. Two thumbs up. Hopefully this review helps other viewers as it helped me in deciding to do this excursion.
