The Chicago River Architecture Tour + Choice of Show package combines daytime discovery with evening entertainment—offering travelers the best of both worlds in one seamless Chicago experience.
Start with the Chicago River Architecture Tour by Wendella, the city’s original and most iconic boat cruise. Glide through the heart of downtown Chicago, surrounded by more than 50 architectural landmarks including Marina City, Willis Tower, and the Wrigley Building. As you cruise along the Chicago River, expert guides share engaging stories about the city’s transformation—from its post–Great Fire rebuilding to its modern skyline filled with engineering marvels.
Whether you choose the 45-minute or extended 90-minute version, both options feature open-air decks for panoramic views and a climate-controlled cabin for comfort in any season. Enjoy light refreshments or a local beer from the onboard bar as you soak in Chicago’s legendary skyline and historic riverfront bridges.
After your daytime exploration, cap off your evening with your Choice of Show—tailored to your interests. For example, you might experience the excitement of Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament Illinois in Schaumburg, where you can cheer for armored knights as they battle on horseback while you enjoy a four-course feast served medieval style.
This package is perfect for visitors who want to make the most of their time in the city by pairing an award-winning architecture tour with the flexibility to enjoy a show of their choosing. It’s an ideal combination of education, relaxation, and lively evening fun.
