The river tour was phenomenal as it showcased the extraordinary architecture Chicago has to offer. It was only made better by our exceptional tour guide, Alina. Her knowledge of Chicago architecture was only surpassed by her knowledge of Chicago history. Alina was fantastic!

Beautiful tour with great info. Our guide Rikki was lovely. I would recommend getting umbrellas or sun hats, as if you didn't sit in the shade, it was quite hot for 90 mins!

We had the best crew for this tour! Our guide was a home grown Chicagoan who shared history on so very much of Chicago's history as well as the architectural history. We came from Wisconsin and I had researched on Tripadvisor for the best tour as it was with my 12 year old granddaughter. After reading all of the selections I had it in my mind that the tour left at 2:30 however it left at 2. I was very upset and was out of line with those sweet people running the tours. They re-booked us on the 4 p,m, tour. They went above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough for being patient and kind to a cranky old lady who messed up. As for the tour itself, it was awesome! I highly recommend Chicago Line cruises.

Well worth the price of admission. The operator was informative and the views were great. What more could you ask for.

Phil Rosenthal did not disappoint here. We loved this cruise! The guide is super knowledgeable and made it fun. It was cool to see the city by water and learn so many random facts about the city and the buildings. There truly is a lot of interesting architectural feats here! This should be the number one tour in Chicago for sure, if you do one thing, do this!

Jack, our cruise director and local historian, was so knowledgable. We enjoyed hearing the history of the buildings that surrounded us and learning how the buildings compliment one another in their architecture, style and height. It's pretty crazy how the skyscrapers are built to withstand the high winds of the Stink Weed City.

I have wanted to do this tour for years and it was better than I had hoped! The views were stunning and we learned tons about the buildings. Mark was fantastic and kept everyone entertained while teaching us about the architecture and history of the city. I highly recommend this tour!

We had a beautiful time on the cruise! We learned so much about the history of the buildings, but also of Chicago. Our guide was excellent. He was very engaging and knew his subject well. Worth every penny!

Declan "Flash", Albert, and Captain Swag took really good care of us. Not a native but highly recommend this to anybody coming through Chicago. The tour was well worth it and learned a lot of neat facts about the history. Also huge plus is it is dog friendly.
