We had a great time! The staff was great and Randy and Niko were great reps of Chicago!
We toured the Illinois river with Captin Rob and we had the absolute best time. We couldn't have asked for a better time or a nicer crew.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had the best time exploring the river with us. Captain Rob and our crew love sharing the water with our guests, and your kind words about their hospitality mean the world to us. We will definitely pass your compliments along to them! Thank you again for choosing us for your river cruise, and we look forward to welcoming you back on board for another wonderful time.
I cannot overstate what a great experience this is. Our captain and crew provided a lifetime memory. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful; everyone involved was friendly and committed to a great time; and the ability to dock on the river at the end was very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you again for choosing to cruise with us. We would absolutely love to welcome you back on board for another memorable time on the water!
I do not recommend this company one bit. Our experience was sub par for many reasons. We were charged the wrong amount of passengers and when I asked for the list they had based on waivers, one persons name was listed 2x. They are refusing to refund me. I offered a group photo, rsvp list, I don’t know what other proof they need. On board the beverages that are usually cold were not. Warm white wine, yuck. I confirmed there would be rosé on board 2x during the booking process and alas, there was none. About 2 hours into the 3 hour ride, they went back and got some. It was warm, I should’ve expected that at this point. Several guests said the bartender was rude to them, I did not experience that but maybe because I footed the big tip. We pre ordered food and the order was incorrect. They book that through a 3rd party so it’s not all their fault but if they are facilitating an order, they should make sure the order is correct. During booking, gratuity is pre paid based on the total amount and I cringed when I saw a tip jar on the counter. Was ~$700 not enough? I guess the good news is the boat didn’t sink, so there’s the positive takeaway from the experience.
This is not our customer and it was not booked Through Viator.
Very fun afternoon celebrating a birthday and was a perfect day. Much nicer tour than expected. Crew was awesome.
