Booking the Chicago Architecture Boat Tour on Klook was absolutely the best decision of this trip! The 90-minute cruise sailed along the three branches of the Chicago River, with stunning skyscrapers lining both banks. Our guide, Liam, was incredibly professional and humorous, sharing fascinating stories from Chicago's rebirth after the Great Fire of 1871 to the art of modern steel structures and glass curtain walls (like Marina City and Willis Tower). Even someone with no architectural background could thoroughly enjoy it. The views from the boat were excellent; it was convenient to either enjoy the breeze and take photos on the open-air upper deck or relax in the air-conditioned lower cabin and grab a drink. I highly recommend this classic tour to all first-time visitors to Chicago – it's not to be missed! (It would be even better if multilingual commentary were available in the future.)

Very easy of booking with Klook, straight forward and fast. The 360 Chicago Observation Deck was amazing. Up there just take your time and enjoy the view.

I found this to be the better option than other citypasses since it fit the attractions I wanted to go to. Just be sure of the dates you're going on because once you do that the ticket is nonrefundable and unchangeable.

Fantastic museum with amazing exhibits and rich history. Seeing Sue the T. rex was incredible, and the museum was very well maintained and educational. Great experience for all ages!

The 45 min river cruise is a definite must see on your Chicago itinerary. A guide will give a highlight for each major building.

I bought tickets for 8PM and it was perfect because it was still slightly bright outside and we could see watch the sunset. It was pretty organized and not too crowded on a Thursday night.

One of the best ways to experience Chicago! The tour was informative, relaxing, and the city skyline views were stunning. Learned so much about Chicago’s architecture while enjoying the river cruise.

it's a fun experience to see the city. very immersive fly through with video and music although it would be good to give some more info during the flyover.
