About this business

Shoreline Sightseeing, established in 1939, began with one vessel offering Lake Michigan Boat Tours showcasing Chicago's fabulous skyline. Now in our third generation of family ownership and operation and in our 77th season. Shoreline Sightseeing has a fleet of ten touring vessels and nine water taxis. In 1996, we brought the first water taxis to Chicago. All our touring vessels have been custom built or custom modified to offer our passengers the highest standards of comfort and safety.

I liked it a lot. The staff is very nice and helpful. Victor was very aprochable at the end of the tour. I thought that was very nice of him. I would recommend to take public transportation to Navy Pier and to buy the tickets on site. I also loved that they had a bar on the boat. The Rum Punch is a must try!�

It was a wonderful experience. Will do it again. Architectural tour with fireworks was totally worth it. 😊

This is the second time I took the river tour and I have to say I never heard anything twice. Both times I done the last tour of the evening cause you get to see all the buildings lit up. Our tour guide William was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He didn't even ask for a tip and I think he should mention that in his speech.

There's something mysterious about cruising down a river as dark descends. Chicago's history is impressive- its buildings magnificent- and our guide told it all with a sprinkling of humor & irony. What an interesting, personable, creative & memorable presentation, WILLIAM! We passed by a group about to jump in kayaks & paddle to weekly fireworks at Navy Pier. Wow! this city knows how to have fun.

We went on the August 2nd architecture/fireworks tour. Ben was our guide, and he did a fantastic job! We learned a lot, and enjoyed the experience!

Went on an Architecture River Cruise yesterday as requested by my 8yr old daughter for her birthday! Went around the same time last year with my mom and aunt. Both times were amazing! Highly, highly recommend! Our tour guides name was Wendy - she was top notch!
