    fantastic tour

    by Mark on 6/1/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    This was a very enjoyable cruise down the Chicago river. The guide (shame on me for forgetting her name - she's the one that sings) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to. I learned a fair bit about Chicago in general during the tour. It was a bit warm sitting on the deck, so just keep that in mind if it's a hot day. There is an air conditioned lower deck, but you're not going to get any good views of the architecture down there.

    Beautiful, peaceful river tour

    by Hemichick on 5/31/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    We did the architectural river tour on Memorial Day weekend. We took friends from California and were all surprised at how wonderful tour and informed the guide was. We all raved about the experience will do it again.

    Amazing, not to be missed!!!

    by Ani on 5/30/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    Although our tour ended up being on a somewhat rainy and chilly day, our tour guide was incredibly informative and clearly explained every detail of literally every building along the river!! Our group of 7 enjoyed it tremendously. We booked way ahead of time, so we were unable to make changes due to weather conditions. All in all we all enjoyed it very very much sipping a warm coffee from the very equipped bar on the boat.

    Architecture Tour

    by Jo on 5/26/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    Unfortunately we had some rain during our tour so had to sit inside during the majority of the tour. It was near impossible to hear the tour guide inside so we lost a good amount of the value of the tour and we were unable to see the buildings from inside as well. This is definitely something you want to do when it's not raining so you can sit upstairs with the guide and see the buildings.

    Wonderful Tour

    by Joanne on 5/25/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    We had a great time, start to finish. Boarding was easy, the seats were comfy, and our Docent conducting the tour was so knowledgeable and had many great anecdotes and info re the architecture of the magnificent buildings we were seeing. This is a must do on any visit to Chicago, I would love to do the evening cruise should I ever return.

    Architecture cruise

    by KC on 5/24/22Chicago Architecture Center - Chicago's First Lady - Chicago

    Fabulous. The docent, whose name I forget, was experienced and full of relevant facts and info about the buildings and city history. We were with visitors from Germany who live in the Rhine, and they were amazed at the beauty and the history of the river and it’s architecture. Made me very proud to be a Chicagoan.
