Shoreline sightseeing Reviews

This is a 75 minute safe family friendly cruise along the Chicago River. This is a must do when visiting Chicago, they are the birth place of the skyscraper and there are plenty of them along the Chicago River. This is a very educational and relaxing tour. Becky, our cruise ship director, made it fun and interesting. (I thought she was hilarious) Luckily we had perfect weather to enjoy the open top boat. There is inside seating downstairs with wash room and bar. The dockside location is easy to find and all staff was friendly.

Did this on a Sunday afternoon without realizing that this was the thing to do in Chicago! The tour guide was extremely funny and had well timed jokes, and it was also just like nice to understand more about the city and the architecture and the fun facts. The tour is quite long too but on time, and it was hot so bring sunscreen. Overall great photo opportunities too and would recommend to tourists!

Jim was great!

The shoreline sightseeing architectural tour is a must. I was able to take a ride on the boat and will recommend it to anyone. The ride is so smooth and the tour guide had great communication skills. This is a bucket list item if you are in Chicago. The prices seem reasonable for the it being a tour and the 75 minutes was perfect time. There is a bar on the boat which is a plus. The views are amazing and regardless the time you take the tour, I m sure it will be worth it.

The Architectural tour was fantastic. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the buildings and it was a fun time. Glad I got to experience this while I was in Chicago. I went around 315 it wasn't a full boat but it didn't feel like it was overloaded. Enjoyed the experience.

Would highly recommend! It was a great tour. The staff was very knowledgeable and gave us an amazing history of the architecture. We took the 90 minute tour and it was beautiful.
Well worth the money.

If you're visiting #Chicago, then you absolutely need to consider a river cruise! It's a great way to see more of the city's architecture, and there are views that are better from the river. We took the 6:15 cruise, and it was beautiful outside! Definitely worth the experience. Our guide was extremely informative and very funny, and the captain gave us a smooth ride the entire time. The staff was great overall. Such a great complement to walking around the city.

What a fantastic tour! We enjoyed it so much that we even decided to go twice on it- during the day, and the night time. The views are impressive, and in combination with interesting stories from guides - it was amazing.
Special thanks to Joe! He is a wonderful guide.
I wish we had more cash with us to tip him properly.

The 75 min architectural tour was exactly what we wanted. Just long enough to get in the sites and info. Highly recommend going right as the sun is setting bc your photos will be magical. Jack was a fantastic docent. Very knowledgeable and a great speaking tone. Phil s a great bartender, tip that man and do it w cash!

Patrick was a terrific docent. He s a comfortable & confident public speaker, who s insightful, interesting, informative, & knowledgeable. He provides background & history about the growth and city/river s development. His brief bit at the end about do one small thing to make the world a better place was a nice touch. This tour is highly recommended as a way to see a considerable portion of the city in a relaxing atmosphere.

Our tour guide, Joe was knowledgeable and his love of the city's history and architecture was apparent in his descriptions and presentation. The sunset Architecture Tour is a must for visitors as well as those who already call Chicago home. It was great to see my city from this different vantage point! Watching the landscape light up as the sun went down was beautiful!
