This 2-hour walking (not boat) tour shows you some of the best buildings along the Chicago River up close — taking you closer than any boat could ever take you! — but then you’ll also get to venture INSIDE, experiencing some of the best interior architecture of buildings you’d recognize from popular Chicago architecture boat tours. It’s the perfect way to fully appreciate Chicago architecture in a way most visitors will never experience: both from the outside, and then also from the INSIDE!
