Fabulous tour! Highly recommend! Lots of great info too!

This was fabulous! Scenery was spectacular & guide was knowledgeable. Being on a former Chicago Fire Dept boat was very cool. Going thru a lock was a nice extra. I highly recommend this tour to everybody! Even inclement weather we were comfortable! Definitely a must do in Chicago!

Stunning!! Fabulous!! A MUST see experience!

We had initially purchased the architect River and lake tour, however, the traffic and full parking lots made it impossible to get to our meeting point. We spoke with the staff and they were very accommodating, and agreed for us to join the evening tour instead!! We had a fantastic cruise, met some vey nice people, who knew the captain. We were introduced, and talked with Captain Lee while we were being brought back into the harbour. Manny, our newest friend and family, gave us a great deal with buying some merch! Thank you!! Seriously, if your considering this your, just do it! Great sights, friendly staff, awesome fireworks, and memorable souvenirs!!! C’mon down and support them, get fabulous pictures as well!!

Awesome architecture and history tour

This was an awesome tour. So much history around the boat and our guide Cliff was awesome. I have done 4 tours and this was the beat.

Fun and interesting

It was very cool taking the tour on the fireboat, much better than the other modern boats. It has two bathrooms and a bar. The crew was fantastic in there service and explanation of all the history of the buildings you see and much more. This is the tour of tours.

It was. A great ride I watched the fireworks from Navy Pier closer than ever!!!

Pick a good, warm time to go!!! It was cold, windy & breezy when I went. But it was still visually enjoyable. Give it a try!!!
