Climb aboard the Odyssey Chicago River for a two hour cruise on the famous Chicago River. This guided tour will venture down each of the 3 branches of the river highlighting 28 different architectural landmarks. Learn about the city’s most legendary buildings, design styles, and the stories behind them. A knowledgeable guide will share insights into how Chicago became the birthplace of the modern skyscraper and a global hub for innovative architecture. You’ll discover the story behind the story of many of these well known landmarks while enjoying a delicious lunch served with style. The Odyssey River Chicago is covered and climate controlled, so even bad weather or July temperatures won’t make you miss a beat as you enjoy all that Chicago has to offer! Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local rediscovering your city, this program offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and cuisine.
