Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This was an outstanding tour and I learned a lot about Chicago, a city I grew up by. The architecture as fascinating. I definitely recommend taking the combined river/lake tour. I do recommend that literature about the tour provide recommendations for parking.
We had a great time on the Lake and River Architecture Cruise. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the cruse fun and informative.
