There is no better way to fall in love with Chicago than from the water. The Chicago Architecture Center River Cruise aboard First Lady is the city’s classic river adventure: 90 minutes gliding through all three branches of the Chicago River, surrounded by one of the most breathtaking skylines in America.
The secret ingredient is the guides. Every cruise is narrated live by volunteer docents from the Chicago Architecture Center, passionate experts who bring more than 50 buildings and 13 historic bascule bridges to life with stories of the architects and dreamers who built the Windy City. It is a history lesson you will never forget, told between skyscrapers.
Cruises depart daily from the Riverwalk at Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive, with a full bar on board and climate-controlled salons for cooler days. Voted among the top boat tours in North America year after year, it is a must for first-time visitors and a fresh delight for lifelong Chicagoans.
