Chicago Sightseeing River and Lake Cruise

This was a well worth the time and money spent on a water boat. Juniper who was the speaker on the boat let us know all kinds of good information and told us about some good history about the buildings and even some information about Lake Michigan . She talked about the Navy Pier to . My husband and I really enjoyed the ride looking at the beautiful lake and Downtown Chicago. We would totally recommend this 1 1/2 ride to all who would like a great ride with no shake up and hear some good knowledge from the staff on the boat. (Thanks Juniper)

Was very surprised how far out we went into Lake Michigan including the holding channel where the river meets the lake, very cool. Awesome views of the city, Navy Pier, Millennium Park and Lake Michigan. You get to see a lot for your money. Highly recommend it.

Great. I really enjoyed myself. And so did my wife. If I had pizza, im probably slap a cracker. But when it comes to ranch, the cracker is home. Salad for days. You feel me?

The sites were beautiful and the guide was informative and entertaining. It was a great day/evening and I have nothing to complain about regarding the tour. However, the time spent in the lock to go from the river to the open water was very long and unfortunately, my date was getting sick and the one and a half hour tour turned into over two hours. Before we arrived back at our origin.

More fun than I expected. 6:00pm was the perfect time to see sunset and skyline at dark. I recommend priority boarding.

To see the chicago skyline from the lake is amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable crew. I would definitely take another cruise before winter.

Be prepared for temp to drop 10-15 degrees as soon as you get out to the harbor/lock area. The seats in the bow are best for less crowds/noise but you will likely get wet if there is any wind or chop at all, and it is known as the Windy City! Wear nonskid shoes for the stairs and bring cash for tips for the crew/bartender.

The tour guide was amazing and funny; the crew was friendly. Overall, the tour was really great! The only hiccup was waiting for the lock to be available. I wish they had a better plan than just sitting and waiting for it for 20 minutes. It was hot and there was no wind, and we were in direct sun. That part was miserable. I wish they had moved around a little while we waited so we had some air. Otherwise very enjoyable!

Very fun to tour the river plus the lake, got a great sunset view of the skyline. However the wait for the lock between river and lake can take some time if there’s a lot of boat traffic, fyi.

Guide (Doug I think) was great. Informative and entertaining. We were blessed with superb weather but trip was made more enjoyable with guides insights and facts about the architecture and history of the Windy City.
