Magical and Informative Evening Cruise - I feel that in one beautiful evening, I’ve become a master in all things architecture! I learned more about the style and structure of Chicago’s buildings than I could have possibly imagined. Our docent, Antonio, was well-informed, personable, and very entertaining. I would absolutely recommend taking the cruise as the sun sets on this beautiful city.

Had a much better time on the Wendella Tour - The tour was very nice. The bar is not full service and they do not serve shots. The amount provided in the cocktails are also very small as well.

Give credit where credit is deserved - The tour is a great way to learn about the history of Chicago and they truly did an amazing job. However the millions of men and women in the construction sector get tired of the architecture professionals getting all the credit for the projects.
