Bus, Trolley, Boat, Bike, Walk…….Segway!

One can see the glorious sights of Chicago in so many ways!

By Sea

Set sail on an architectural cruise along the Chicago River. Take an hour-long tour of the city's structural highlights on a Wendalla Boats Tour as part of our Architectural Tour Package . If you're onboard for a longer boat ride, take First Lady from Michigan Avenue Bridge, or a Chicago Line Cruise (Starbucks included!) from River East Arts Center for fascinating facts on Chicago and its buildings.

If the kids are on deck, a simple sightseeing cruise may be more fitting . Wendella and Mercury both offer a Lake and River Tour and Sunset Cruises. If you don't want to leave your best friend behind, take one of my favorite cruises, a Canine Cruise that Mercury offers on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. throughout July, August and September. If you've left them all behind and you're up for a fast adventure, the Seadog at Navy Pier is a large yellow speed boat to test your nerves on Lake Michigan.

Boats are very popular in the warmer months, so be sure and call me early to book your cruise reservation!

Pedal-Pushing

The Mayor's enthusiasm for bicycling means that this is a bike-friendly town and you'll see bicycles all over the city. One of the best tours is Bobby’s Bike Hike. Located at River East Arts Center, Bobby and his guides will take you to some of best sights of the city. Whether it is checking out the mansions in the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park Zoo or Oprah’s house, you will have a fun and informative tour. Bobby also rents bikes for you own leisure time.

On the Bus

The Chicago Trolley/Double-Decker bus tours are another excellent option. For the price of an all day pass ($25.00), board the bus or trolley at key locations and hear wonderful stories about Chicago. If a particular landmark interests you, get off the trolley or bus, explore, and catch the next trolley that comes along.

Building Up

The Chicago Architecture Foundation, offers wonderful walking and bus tours. A new tour this year is based on the popular book “Devil in the White City” and covers the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition, the last of the nineteenth century's world fairs.

Touch it Up

You may remember a bit of other Chicago History concerning a man named Al Capone. The Untouchable Tours offer the highlights (and lowlights) of the gangster/prohibition era. Your guides, Al Dente and “Southside” Craig Alton, will give you the business…

By Segway...What the heck is a Segway?

A Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing transportation device. In other words, FUN! There are currently two different companies to satisfy your Segway needs-- City Segway Tour and Segway Experience of Chicago Check out both sites!
