I was a former Chicago Architectural (Foundation) Center docent for 10 year, and have taken many of the River architectural cruises from several different companies. The guide, a retired engineer, offered a different take on the history and buildings with coverage of Navy Pier, as well.
I highly recommend this tour plus it takes guests through the lock, though we had to wait because of a little traffic. The tour goes up the E/W and N. Branches of the River.

Great ride on history-fire boat was fun with ride through the locks and a wonderful tour of the different architectural building along the river. Also some great stories. Highly recommended.

About Go on a Architectural Boat Tour
One usually doesn't have many opportunities to sail on a historic vessel. At Chicago Fireboat Tours, customers can do just that, as they board the Fred A. Busse, an active Fireboat for the Chicago Fire Department from 1937 until 1981. This veteran-owned local business offers a range of guided tours, historic cruises, evening sunset cruises and charters upon the Chicago Fireboat both on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.
