Join Shoreline on an exciting journey touring the Chicago River and its architectural landmarks. Travel down the main branch of the Chicago River, up the north branch to the East Bank Club, and then south past the Willis Tower to the old Post Office Building. Cruises are led by professional guides who share the dramatic story of Chicago's rise from the ashes of the Great Fire of 1871 to become the home of the skyscraper and the cradle of modern American architecture.
Along the one-hour route are buildings by world-famous architects Mies van der Rohe, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, and Helmut Jahn. A map and architectural guide is yours to keep. All of the tour boats have easy boarding ramps and are accessible to people with disabilities.
