This picturesque 75-minute cruise is led by a professional guide who shares exciting details and historical significance of the buildings that line the Chicago River.

While on the main branch, you’ll marvel at the works of Bertrand Goldberg and Jeanne Gang. Afterward, reach the north branch and witness the vast contrast in how architecture on the Chicago River has changed over time.
