I have been on many architectural tours from the Chicago River perspective, but this one was far superior. It was particularly interesting to be in the river after it was turned green for St Patrick's Day. We took our exchange student and his friend, and they said this was their favorite thing to do during our trip to Chicago. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to see Chicago from the river.

This was THE BEST river tour I have ever done. I love how private and personal this tour is and you have the freedom to really do what you want especially with photo opportunities. We decided to go the day after the Saint Patty’s river dye to see the green river and it was the best decision I ever had. The coolest part about this that grabbed my attention is the small boat you get to ride on is actually a 7M RIB from the USS Laboon! My friend and I being Active Duty Sailors with a few years in and 3 deployments this immediately peaked our interest. We were so impressed with Captain Ken (retired USCG BM1) very knowledgeable and all around a great tour guide. Thank you for creating the coolest boat tour EVER!! See you in the Summer with the rest of NSGL Sailor’s!

We highly recommend this tour as it was limited to the amount of people. It surprised us it was just the 2 of us at 11:30 after the Chicago River was dyed green. Captain is very welcoming and friendly. He is really knowledgeable and you learn quite a lot of history and about the architecture. We had the best time and so glad we had this fun adventure. Also provides excellent directions and a video where to go when you arrive.
