Overview

This isn’t your typical slow-paced boat tour. Expect an engaging, fast-paced, and entertaining ride as your expert guide delivers fascinating facts with a side of humor.

Departing from Navy Pier, the tour begins with a scenic speedboat ride along Lake Michigan before gliding through the Chicago River. As you navigate the city's waterways, you’ll get up-close views of world-famous landmarks like Willis Tower, Marina City, and the Wrigley Building. You’ll hear the stories behind Chicago’s iconic skyline, from the soaring modern skyscrapers to the historic buildings that helped shape the city, so kick back and relax as you float down the Chicago River and marvel at the city's magnificent architecture. 

Whether it’s your first time in the city or your hundredth, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for its legendary skyline after this family and dog-friendly experience and the only tour to take you from the lakefront, through the locks, and along the Chicago River all the way to the famous Willis Tower.

A calm experience even on a crowded day. (We learned more than expected in a short visit, we left with clearer context on the venue’s history.)

Smooth check-in with no surprises. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, matching what friends told us—but better in person.
