Chicago: 90-Minute Architecture Tour on the Lake & River
About this experience
Wendella's Lake & River Architecture Tour is a 90-minute adventure that takes place aboard Wendella's double-decker tour boat. A Chicago family tradition since 1935, this is the tour that started it all!
Your journey begins with an up-close perspective of Chicago's internationally-known architecture, as seen from the Chicago River. Then, venture through the Chicago Lock to get a whole new view of Chicago's best-loved buildings from Lake Michigan.
As well as your experienced guide, who knows the city better than anyone, each boat contains restrooms, a full-service cash bar and a climate-controlled cabin on the lower deck.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
