Overview

When in Chicago, cruising down the Chicago River is a must. Except with us, you’ll be taking in the architecture of the buildings that line the beautiful river. We provide detailed explanations of the construction and history of over 50 significant buildings, wrapping up at the end of the river. The Chicago River Cocktail Cruise allows you to experience an architecture tour with a cocktail in your hand! Your cruise includes either one or two drinks, with your choice of premium spirits, beer, or wine. Additional drinks are available for purchase.

Started on time, knowledgeable guide, get in line early (40min) to ensure best seating. The only downside was people talking loudly over the guide. Staff was excellent bartenders were great!
