Chicago Lights

It was beautiful. The guide did give us information on the buildings before heading into the lake to see the sunset behind the city lights.

Best of both worlds

It was the best of both worlds. I highly recommend doing the sunset since you get the day and night. It was magical. Got amazing views and photos. The boat also turns around so everyone can get a nice picture.

Arrived at 6:29 and was...

Arrived at 6:29 and was refused entry for the 6:30 departure. Dismissed with a "you missed it, here's a number to call to rebook tomorrow." Boat didn't pull away until 6:35. Will absolutely be disputing this charge with Amex.

Operator response

We Always try to depart on time, and boarding closes before departure for safety reasons. Unfortunately, once the boarding ramp is pulled, we can no longer let anyone on. While the boat may remain at the dock briefly after boarding closes, departures occur at the scheduled time. We regret that you were unable to join the cruise.

Beautiful way you see the city.

Amazingly beautiful views of the skyline from Lake Michigan. Not quite as romantic as the boat will be filled with people talking solo shots of themselves for their IG story but beautiful nonetheless. Find a spot near the entrance door on the top level and pay up there. You will get the best views.

Great-Spectacular

You must take this experience no matter what; Chicago is spectacular from every angle, but seeing the sunset on this tour is insane.
