★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · from $49

Spend about 90 minutes aboard a historic wooden yacht on the Chicago River.

Soda, coffee, and snacks are included, with alcoholic drinks available to buy. The tour begins and ends at 465 N McClurg Ct.

“The tour guide was terrific - super informative, fun to listen to, and maintained control of the crowd so that folks could actually hear him. He also invited and answered random questions. The boat ride was smooth and beautiful. I’m so glad we opted for a smaller vessel so we could hear and see everything. This tour was my and my 16-year old son’s (!!) favorite!”
