Famous among Chicagoans, this 1½-hour tour along the Chicago River attracts both visitors and locals. You’ll board Chicago’s First Lady in the very heart of the city, between Millennium Park and The Magnificent Mile. In good weather, you can sit on the top deck and enjoy this city’s spectacular architecture up close while a docent points out highlights--the new Trump Tower, the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), and Art Deco buildings galore. The boat typically passes under 23 bridges, and you’ll likely see and hear kayakers, trains, and the rattling old El line.
