Reviews
The 45 min river cruise is a definite must see on your Chicago itinerary. A guide will give a highlight for each major building.
The skyscrapers were truly beautiful, and the cruise was definitely worth it.
It was a wonderful opportunity to view Chicago's cityscape, a blend of modern and old European-style buildings, from the river. The city views were beautiful, and the tour guide's commentary made it a very enriching experience.
