Our 45-minute Chicago River Architecture Cruise with Wendella was one of the highlights of our trip! The views of the city's iconic skyline were absolutely stunning, and seeing Chicago from the river gave us a whole new appreciation for its incredible architecture and history. The tour guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the experience both informative and entertaining. Even though it was only 45 minutes, it was packed with fascinating stories about the buildings and the city's rich architectural heritage. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-organized, making the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. Whether it's your first time in Chicago or you're visiting again, this cruise is definitely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the city from a unique perspective!

“What an incredible experience! I took my granddaughter on the architecture boat tour yesterday, and we both had an amazing time. The tour was informative, relaxing, and so much fun. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared the history of the buildings in a way that kept everyone interested. The captain made the ride smooth, and the staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Seeing the city from the water gave us a whole new appreciation for its beautiful architecture. It was the perfect way to spend quality time together and create memories we’ll always cherish. I highly recommend this tour to families, visitors, and even locals who want to see the city from a different perspective. We will definitely be back!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 — A memorable experience that was worth every minute!

Our tour guide was Josh who did a relatively good job of providing historical and relevent information. At times he would talk about buildings after we had passed it and ask us to turnaround to see it, which was awkward at times. He was very eager to share a lot of information regarding the Chicago Fire, which was fine for a while. However, he continued to talk about it for quite a while longer and passed opportunities to talk about other buildings or other historical facts. The world's fair was briefly mentioned, how the term "the Windy City" came about was never mentioned , the different architects that influenced the development it's was skipped and the impact Mr. Woolworth had in developing Chicago. These were key points that would have made the tour more interesting.

This was a spectacular tour! I enjoyed the history and sights. I learned so much and grew in appreciation for buildings I have walked past many times in previous trips to Chicago. The boat truly is the best way to see the buildings without an obstructed view or breaking your necks to look up. It was a perfect weather day for the tour. The below deck bar was perfect for a cool drink on the warm day. My only concern was I bought my ticket through Headout and had issues day of because the email didn't have a barcode and the ticket booth employee said I was all set. Once I got to the boat there was a hold up and confusion around my reservation.
