Viator sucks
I was down in Chicago on a visit and was trying to schedule a boat to her that my boss sent me the link to and then it switched me over to these guys and they’re totally a rip off. They did not even sell me the right ticket they took $72 off of my card and I didn’t even ever get to go on the boat because this app they suck

Tickets not working
Very bad experience. I bought the chicago water taxi tour tickets but tickets could not be scanned as they did not have the QR codes. Bar codes could not be scanned.

Great way to see the city
Well worth the money to go back and forth all day. We didn’t have to wait too much at each stop, but it allowed us to go from the museum to Navy Pier to Willis tower and back for one price. Great investment for the day of travel!
