Shoreline is by far the best architecture river tour option in Chicago. I've done the same tour with two or three other companies over the years, but shoreline is my favorite. Their guides are extremely knowledgeable and also have the best personalities in my opinion. Every time we have company from out of town, we do this tour and they also love it. The weather helped today too since it was 72 degrees, no humidity, mostly sunny. Thanks for another great day.

This tour was fantastic! So informative! The tour guide, Catherine, was amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and you could tell she loved the city and the architecture. We have been to Chicago several times, but this tour helped us learn a lot of new details about the history and unique flavor of Chicago. We would recommend the tour to anyone visiting the city! Well worth it!

I've been on the architectural tour 3 times now, with various members of my family. I was still mesmerized the third time, completely immersed in the stories told by our guide Eric. 22 year old Eric was excellent at his job, peppered his stories with humor, singing tenor in front of the opera building, as well as some impressions. I felt transported back into time as we passed each tall building both old and new. I enjoyed the trip immensely. Eric's love for Chicago is infectious and the city and its people continue to inspire me.
We did the 75 minute tour at 12:30 tour.
