Narrated boat tours cruise Chicago’s waterways, unpacking the architectural history behind landmark skyscrapers.
Description
Running since 1939, Shoreline Sightseeing operates Chicago's largest fleet of tour boats and water taxis, departing from both Michigan Avenue and Navy Pier. Routes span all three branches of the Chicago River—passing more than 40 landmark skyscrapers like Marina City and Tribune Tower—alongside dedicated sunset and nighttime skyline lake cruises. Commentary goes beyond structural styles to cover specific construction dates, hidden histories, and current rental rates.
