    Highlight of our trip

    by Steve Who on 12/19/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    The tour guide for our cruise was amazing. I don't recall her name but she was from the architecture center. She knew so much about every building along the river. She made the cruise so enjoyable. Drinks available on the boat. Bathrooms too. We rode on the top deck aft and we thought the views were excellent. Crew was top notch.

    Such a great tour

    by Dmiclean on 11/7/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    I take friends who have never been to chicago on the cruise/tour every time I’m in town. I learn new things from different guides and it is always fun to be on the river. And, the architecture center is the best of the tours

    Best River cruise Commentary

    by Bobsi on 11/6/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    Our docent was so knowledgeable. They are very well trained and really know the facts. I can't imagine a better boat tour. This is the REAL thing. They do not get paid. they are all volunteers, No tipping. TOUR ALL YOUR TOURS FROM THE ARCHETECTURAL FOUNDATION

    Best possible way to see the city. Highly recommend going through CAC and also visiting their center after the tour.

    Fantastic

    by Elizabeth G on 11/6/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    We thought we might be crazy for booking the river tour in November, but we ended up having the most beautiful weather. Seeing Chicago from the river and learning about its architectural history was amazing. The guide was so knowledgeable, and you could tell she loved what she did. I would highly recommend this tour, and the Chicago Architecture Center add on is a must.

    Fantastic

    by Marcie on 11/2/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    Our tour guide, X Mad Man from advertising career, was amazing!! He knew his historical facts and presented the facts in a clear concise voice, manner and humor. If you want to understand the history, styles of architecture, revelant names of many buildings, their designers and some unique features then this is the tour for you. There are other tours available costing a little less, so be sure to book on the Chicago’s First Lady for the best tour in the estimation of myself, my grown daughter and recommendations from other people we know. Be sure to bring gloves and a hat if weather is cool. First Lady also has a bar for cold or hot drinks and snacks.

    Best tour in the city!

    by Foodie26 on 11/1/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    The CAC boat tour is the best in the city! The docents who lead the tours are incredibly interesting and truly love what they do. I do this tour multiple times per year with all of our out of town guests and I learn something new each time!
