Reviews from Happy Participants

• If you are visiting Chicago and want something awesome to do. Don’t skip out on this great attraction. Great thing about the boat we were on was air-conditioned at the bottom. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight on the different architecture in Chicago that we seen. This is a 5-STAR a must-go!
• The best boat tour ever! I and my friend were so happy that we did this. Definitely learned a lot while enjoying the amazing views. I know there are tons of seemingly the same kind of tour out there though, but this is the one that you’d want to join as they offer a further trip to the north and provide rich history and information. It’s 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!
• My mom and I played tourists the day we went and loved it!! If you’re coming to Chicago we highly recommend this company! Our guide was wonderful and she added fun and excitement to the tour!! What a fun day hanging out with my mom!
