We were late after leaving ample time for the drive but there was an accident on the highway. They were so nice and accommodating and found more seats on a later tour same day. This was a surprise for my boyfriend who's been dying to go and y'all came through so thank you for being so understanding. Now with the tour itself y'all also came through that was such an amazing experience I'd actually do it again! The tour guide Eric was a hoot! He made learning fun and even sang a little opera which I still can't tell if it was real or not because it was so good! I will be recommending this tour to others! Until next time!"

I didn’t make it back to the refreshment center, but it looked clean and well organized as well. Because of the thread of rain, they handed out free ponchos who we used from time to time on the hour and a half tour. The tour was fantastic and we learned a lot about Chicago history as well as Chicago architecture, various architectural periods and dozens of buildings on this beautiful Chicago river, which the tour guide dubbed the Grand Canyon of Chicago with lots of tips about things to do outside of the boat tour in downtown Chicago Lots of fun stories and very entertaining. Thank you so much."

We learned a lot about the cities history, and the architecture itself, different types of architecture, and styles. It was very informative while also getting to see amazing views of the city. I will definitely take this tour again when I come back."

The drinks were incredibly weak and overpriced. To make matters worse, our bartender Caroline had a bad attitude and poor bartending skills, which put a damper on the fun. Tip: Skip the on-board bar altogether and grab a few drinks across the street at Casa Margarita before you board. You’ll get much better drinks and start the tour off on a happier"
