It was a crisp cool spring day. The sun was shining, and the boat was full. I hadn't taken it in years, but we had friends from out of town, and they said they loved Chicago architecture. We all loved it, there was so many new buildings, and some old favorites. The root guide was very knowledgeable, and funny. The boat has free cookies, coffee and hot chocolate. They also have a bar, but you know that's not free. The boat also has restrooms. The tour last 1.5 hours and is worth the price.

Ed did an amazing job hosting our architecture cruise. He was funny and informative. I've never looked at buildings much, but taking the time to really just admire the design and craftsmanship that goes in to structures all around us was really nice. They offer complimentary drinks and cookies. I would use Chicago line cruises any day!
