    DONT GO IN A SUNNY DAY! The boat ride is smooth and calm, the person that give you the city history is clearly and expert. Amazing experience

    Iconic Chicago experience. The evening boat tour at sunset time was an experience to remember. After spending a few days in the city, it was nice seeing it from a different perspective and learning about the landscape. You can choose to sit upstairs (outdoors), or downstairs (indoors) which was heated. We took the tour in mid November, and by the end of it, we were quite cold and had to go downstairs. Highly recommended. Just wear warm clothes.

    Excellent tour! Best guides ever. I absolutely love this fun fact-filled tour and have been on it a few times. Great views of the city no matter where you sit. In the middle of the tour, they stop at a great spot so you can take a picture of the Chicago skyline. Breathtaking architecture and history. Makes me proud to be from around here. Definitely a go-to if you're in Chicago. You will NOT regret it. Seeing the city by boat versus walking has a completely different feel. Every time I'm downtown and see a building, my mind just recalls the amazing story or fact from the tour. You really appreciate the architectural planning that went into the buildings after experiencing this tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
