About

Wendella’s Lake & River Architecture Tour is a 90-minute adventure that takes place aboard Wendella’s double-decker tour boat. A Chicago family tradition since 1935, this is the tour that started it all!

Your journey begins with an up-close perspective of Chicago’s internationally-known architecture, as seen from the Chicago River. Then, venture through the Chicago Lock to get a whole new view of Chicago’s best-loved buildings from Lake Michigan.

As well as your experienced guide, who knows the city better than anyone, each boat contains restrooms, a full-service cash bar and a climate-controlled cabin on the lower deck.
