About

Come sail away and see skyscrapers by starlight, get a great view of the Buckingham Fountain’s light display, and listen in on some guided commentary to give your tour added depth.

Chicago’s architectural scene is a feast for the eyes, with some of the USA’s tallest towers all there to be ogled. The work of famous architects dots The Windy City’s coast and the buildings have served as the backdrop of Gotham in Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
