Wow! The River Cruise is an absolute must for locals and tourists! Have lived in Chicagoland all my life and found Debra C. (Volunteer Docent) a WEALTH of fun and interesting knowledge. Was captivated by Chicago’s river stories and facts that make Chicago the fabulous city that it is! Thanks Chicago Architecture Center and Debra! – Vicki N Wilmette IL
Kenton Foutty. 2009
We had the opportunity to travel to Chicago last weekend and on Saturday we took a trip on the River Cruise. Kent was our guide and he was amazing. He knew so much history and many stories about all of the buildings and surrounding areas. I had visited Chicago many times and I learned so much. I highly recommend this tour. – 300hollyh Powell, Ohio, United States

Bob Joynt, 2011
Rated #1 for a reason! We enjoyed every minute of this River Cruise tour and would highly recommend. Docent Bob seemed to know everything about every building and clearly loved sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for the city. Five stars for Bob! We’ll be back. – Jaymill8 Toronto, Canada
Judith Kaufman, 2010
The 1 1/2-hour architectural River Cruise with Chicago’s First Lady was great. Our volunteer docent, Judith, was very informative and made the cruise interesting. She told us all about the history and architecture of the various buildings, actually skyscrapers, we saw. The ride was smooth and comfortable. Since this was my first time in Chicago, I learned about the beautiful buildings I was seeing and knew nothing about. – DanaG661 Rancho Palos Verdes
Tom Kinsella, 2006
Tom, the CAC docent that led the Art Deco Skyscrapers tour, was phenomenal. We toured the exteriors and interiors of several pre-depression buildings that were built in the grand Art Deco style. The docent’s level of detail and ability to put what we were seeing in context with the times they were constructed really made this tour stand out. Highly recommended. – garyrI9594DO Ripon, Wisconsin

Bobbi Pinkert, 1999
I took the Wendella tour years ago and it was good. This CAC River Cruise tour was excellent. Our docent Bobbi was impressively adept. She managed to keep it positive and stimulating despite persistent drizzle and rain. Kudos to her. Superior tour. – Reasonable50 Greenwich, Connecticut
Barry Sears, 1992
Thank you so much for what I would say was my best tour ever!!! My friends and I loved the Art Deco Skyscrapers tour a week ago. And the guide was just outstanding!!! Barry, it was a pleasure and honor to benefit from your truly deep and broad knowledge. Your energy surprised us! We now share your love for this wonderful city. But me personally, I learned so much on Art Deco I am sure I would not have gotten anywhere else. Thank you so much!!! – Stefanie Granado
Cindy Schneider, 2010
I took the River Cruise tour during the non-busy season in November. Despite the cold weather, I really enjoyed the tour! I had the opportunity to see some really cool architecture in Chicago and learner some cool facts about the city. The docent, Cindy, was really knowledgeable about the city. I would totally do this tour again! – Tiffany C. Philadelphia, PA
