Great experience! The tour guide was funny, informative and made it even better. Can’t remember her name exactly(Alana?) red headed woman. The views were incredible and it was a lot of fun seeing the city lit up at night. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Justine was amazing!!! Clean boat. Informative tour guide and so funny. We had a great time and would definitely do it again!
Easy to find the boat. Great guide once on the boat.. Not so great greeter Priscilla employed by Wendell’s-they should have custom service friendly people up front, not someone with an attitude. I have always been happy with Viatar for easy service!
The cruise director was very knowledgeable and helpful! It was an enjoyable cruise - we learned a lot about this big wonderful city !
This tour was awesome!! My husband and I learned so much about Chicago’s history and the gorgeous architecture. I didn’t know I was into architecture until I took this tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, informative and funny. He even checked in on us personally during the break. The seats were comfortable and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chicago.
It was amazing, everything was wondering, WOW!! I rate the employees was very helpful and respectful and understanding also spoke clearly so everyone could understand, I rate a ten stars in my prayers book, keep up the amazing great amazing work.
I booked with TripAdvisor with my sister from California but we ended up at two different docks so I had to reschedule my tour because I thought it was at the same dock as hers but they were awesome and let me reschedule. My son and I had a wonderful time the guide was amazing!!
Excellent description of Chicago buildings along the river. Bring sunscreen and hat as there is no shade on outside section.
Well, for the few boats there was something like ceiling covers behind of the boat so some people couldn’t see well the tall towers during this tour. If I knew this I would make a reservation for the First Lady even if I had to pay more. The covers had better remove so that all people can see the all tall buildings well
This is definitely a must do when you visit Chicago! We learned so much about these amazing buildings and the people who designed them. Lucas our guide packed so much information into our 90 minutes. Excellent experience.
