Brieanna_C

This tour was amazing! 10/10 I highly recommend. Worth every penny. I will definitely take this tour again when I return to Chicago. It’s just the right length, goes up and down the coast line a few times. The spoked cider was the perfect touch.

The boat is nice and big! Lots of space to sit and stand. The had a wonderful tour guide that was funny and knowledgeable. The sites are beautiful! No denying the city is just amazing. I enjoyed it a lot! My 14 y/o did get bored eventually, but overall liked it as well. Bring a jacket. It’s cold with lots of wind on the water!

Due to the weather, it became an architectural tour on the river. At first I was disappointed, but it turned out better than I imagined. The tour guide was hilarious and full of great info about the buildings and Chicago itself. I would highly recommend this experience!

Loved it! Friendly crew and great host! Fabulous job and sunset cruise was perfect! Would highly recommend as a must do for first time Chicago visitors

Watching the sunset view on the skyline and then it got dark, the city was so beautiful. However, the driver of the boat crashed into something TWICE. Outside of that it was pretty cool. It was cold out in April, so bring warm stuff. They have an indoor part too where you can sit as well, so that was nice.
