What is the best way to see Chicago in a day?
Were it not for the Chicago River, the city of Chicago would likely not have risen to its Second City prominence. That said, there is no better way to spend a glorious Chicago day than on its river. River cruises that regale [tourists on] Chicago's architectural history abound. At certain points on the river, one can view over 100 years of architectural history. If a tour boat sounds pedestrian to you, consider a private excursion with your own docent. -
