One of my favorite ways to travel the city. Love Chicago water taxi, I use this service to get from union Station to Michigan Ave often to get me within walking distance to northwestern memorial / luries childrens campus for my specialist appointments.Pro tip - no better way to rwke in the beauty of Chicago.
The Chicago Water Taxi is a great and inexpensive way to view the city from a new perspective! I recommend getting the $8 day pass and taking all the routes. While there may be a wait time between transfers, that time can be spent walking around and exploring the areas. Furthermore, its possible to view schedules with their helpful website and plan the most convenient trip. And you can buy tickets in advance and present them on your phone (or print them out).If youve lived here all your life or just visiting for a few days, its still a fun experience. The boats are different in size and look, its great to explore and take pictures.
Convenient, inexpensive and easy
6$ a person to take you from Michigan Ave to China Town in just under 40min with a pretty cool perspective of the city scape and skylines along the way. Its not a guided tour but there are other options for that if youre interested as well. Its a quick, inexpensive experience of Chicago and cheaper than a ride share but potentially wetter than the L in a rain shower.
For $10 you can check out the scenery from the lake and their is 4 other water taxis you can ride all for $10 a day. 5 star!
Great ride! I had a friend in town and we took the water taxi to China town. Although I live downtown it was my first time taking it. Its definitely a fun thing to do when you have friends in town.
Great service for a great price and the workers have always been good people.
Cool affordable way to travel the river quickly. Also a beautiful perspective of the buildings towering both sides of the river.
Great way to get around the city. I highly recommend that every one take this at least once. The view that you get from the river of the buildings is quite humbling.
This fabulous taxi service calls into a couple of places. Friendly staff. Can pay with cash or card
Enjoy the ride between the city building. Take $10 pass and enjoy 24 hrs unlimited ride
Great cheap cruse to discover Chicago building from another angle. Night time is wonderful. Weekday rate are only $2 with the 10 ride pass.
Convenient if your timing is just right, but I got the day pass on my first trip and couldnt get a water taxi at the end of the day.
If you dont want to shell out the bucks for the architectural river tour, the water taxi is an alternative. Its not a tour boat, so you gotta provide your own commentary. Or just clam up and enjoy the astonishing view.
Can get you almost everywhere (except for Navy Pier) at a reasonable price!
Great way to get around and view the Riverwalk in Chicago.
We loved it. We got the all day pass for $10. No this not a tour boat but what a deal!
Great way to get across the loop. Staff is always courteous and the boats are on time. Put your phone down and enjoy the ride!
Went from China town to the water taxi enjoyed Chicago for a day. Great experiences.
Enjoyed using this service compared to the local taxi service. During rush hour I would definitively use this instead of the taxi service. It will end up a bit cheaper than sitting in traffic...
Always a pleasure to take in the morning to work, as long as my Metra train pulls in on time.
A great way to get from Oglivie Station to the Magnificent Mile. Great views and very relaxing.
Kids love it. Always fun to ride a boat in Chicago
Great way to go from train to Riverwalk. Or Chinatown
I really enjoyed this service. I got to see Chicago in a different perspective.
A convenient way to get to work if you are close to the river stops.
Good service. Respectable price. I recommend getting the 10 ride if you have more then 4 people in a group
Love this taxi service. Best way to get around Chicago.
Awesome experience, and they offer free rides for military!
Well priced took me from A to B in a very nice fashion
Fun (and cheap) way to ride the river to China Town
A great way to get around and see Chicago along the way.
After lots of walking it was fun to travel down the river on the water taxi
Great alternative for cabs in summer from Union to Meg mile.
If you are a tourist then please consider getting the all day pass for only $10! Way better then all the pricey boat tours going around
Great way to travel in the summer. Would recommend the 10 ride pass, but dont buy on weekends as it costs extra
The taxi was on time and all the workers were very courteous.
Great ride from Union station to China Town. You cant beat the $10 weekend day pass. That has to be the deal of the century.
Very economical way to see Chicago Downtown through the river. Bought the $10 day pass and we were allowed to board unlimited rides.
Great day pass very reasonable prices
Always take our out of town vistors to Chinatown with water taxi. Great view lots of fun.
We went on the River Architecture tour, highly recommended.
This water taxi is great! Inexpensive best way to tour Chicago
Nice way to get from Metra train station to Trump tower and other stops.Learn a few things about Chicago, at a slower pace, but about the same price as Street travel.
When it’s running, pretty good way to get around if you can work around their schedule. It’s easy to buy the tickets on their mobile website from your phone.
What are the best ways to get around the city and for only $20 for a day pass definitely worth the money highly recommend
A Must on St. Patricks day. Small fun ride on the chicago river.
Beautiful scenery along the River and affordable. 😁
Great option get the 10-ride pass
Good one must have ride if u are in chicago
Needs more Improvement but its nice
They are nice even during rush hour.
Easy to get ti certain locations plus a beautiful view of the city.
A value for getting around. The scenery is a huge bonus
Great way to get around in warmer weather. Frequent, reliable, and relaxing.
It is very nice and see the City that way
I have great memories with this in summer. Must try if u are in Chicago
Best way to see the City for the first timeFriendly and courtesy staff, very professional and safety orientated...
Not the quickest way to get around the city, but a fun change of transportation means
Great way to travel. Can faster than busses and the trolley.
Cheap way to see the river. Great views if you travel the entire length.
Cheap way to see the city. $9 for unlimited ride ...
Nice and cheap transportation to tour the city.
That was my first time on the Water Taxi When I visit my brother in Chicago I had a beautiful time there and the water taxi was really nice
Best way to get to/from Chinatown from the Loop - its like a $5 Architecture River Cruise!
Most relaxing way to get from the train station to Michigan Avenue
Nice people, excellent costumer service.
Very convenient and great river sightseeing
Convenient and cheap. Great way to get around Chicago
Fun view of the city. Cheap ride from train to mag mile
I wasn’t much happy few years back, because of rude personnel. Now things change and I’m glad to take a ride again.
Love it 3 dollars for senior s
If you havent gone on one of the water taxi rides and your a resident of Chicago, I would definitely recommend. Its cheaper and very tranquilo, especially at noon.
We took a ride on the taxi service to see downtown in a new way; loved it.This is not a wheelchair accessible service.
Loved it. So much fun.
