Enjoy the opportunity to experience Chicago in the best two ways: by boat and on foot through one of Chicago’s unique neighborhoods, Chinatown. First, after meeting near the point where it all began — which is now the tail end of the famous Magnificent Mile — you’ll take part in the most popular tourist activity in Chicago, enjoying breathtaking views along the Chicago River on a relaxing and informative 35-minute ride. Your expert guide will tell you about the architecture and history along the way using a personal sound system with discreet individual listening devices. We’ll spend the rest of our tour on foot exploring Chinatown, learning about its history, its architecture, and its food. NOTE: This is not a food-tasting tour, though we purposely end in this neighborhood so that you can stay and eat after the tour, which we highly recommend!

About operator:
Walking, combo (walking + boat), and virtual tours that delight visitors with gorgeous, fascinating, hidden details behind many doors. This woman-owned biz was founded by a local whose experience as a teacher, writer, improv comedian, and tour guide combine to create tours that tell the story of Chicago in an engaging, educational, and entertaining way. Most architecture tours of Chicago -- boats, walks, segways, etc. -- present the city like an overwhelming, scripted laundry list that you'll soon forget. For us, there is a reason we are exploring a certain area, or following a certain path: the architecture that we explore is like the vocabulary of the larger story we are telling. We love to focus on the stunning interiors of buildings throughout downtown Chicago, but we also provide you with an "insider's scoop" on lots of the exterior architectural elements that most guides won't show you. Your guides will delight you with a side of Chicago you've never seen!
