I researched all the boat…read morecompanies that offered the Chicago architecture boat cruises and Shoreline Sightseeing came out hands down #1 for us in tour length, type of cruises, accessibility and in price for what you got. Best deal. Our tour guide was happy, energetic, and very knowledgeable about Chicago because he was born and raised there. We chose the 75 minute, 4pm Chicago River tour and it covered a lot! We never lost interest and learned about Chicago's history. It is well worth it! Our Architecture River Tour boat departed from the dock at Navy Pier. We learned that their boats are the most accessible at this location. Their boats can accommodate wheelchairs up to 30-inches wide. Your wheelchair must be able to navigate a ramp with a 2-inch step at one end. I needed one that was kind to my knees. Best to call them for more details. They were very helpful whenever we called them. Their boats are both double-decker and single-level boats, and there is generally no protection from the sun, rain, or wind. There is a small bar on the main level. Restrooms are located on the lower deck, which is accessible only via stairs from the upper deck. Enjoy! It's amazing!

We'd pre-purchased our tickets directly with the operator and paid for priority boarding. It took us a few more minutes to arrive than we'd anticipated, but it was easy to find the location the cruise departed from. Luckily, even though they'd already begun boarding the general admission folks, we were allowed to skip the line and our priority boarding was honored. Our guide's name was Russell and he's a volunteer docent. He was wonderful and his explanations were very interesting. It was a great way to get to know the stories behind the buildings and to see the city from a different angle. Highly recommend!
