This is unquestionably one of the best tours in Chicago. Best done on any nice summer day, you will ride on a boat down the Chicago River while a speaker talks to about much of Chicago's iconic architecture. Drinks are served on the boat, and the pickup is in the middle of the Chicago Riverwalk, which is worth walking down on its own.
