Lake Michigan Sunset Cruise in Chicago

We loved the sunset tour! The views were immaculate and unforgettable. Would love to do it again and again!

Lovely experience, loved the views, architecture was interesting. The beverages were very expensive and the dont take cash

The guide Emma was so awesome! She was interesting and had a great sense of humor and FULL of Knowledge! All was perfect!

Great experience! Emma was very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks are very reasonably priced and the music was great! Even though it was cloudy due to the rain, the views were still amazing!

The tour guide was very informative and engaging. I've been to Chicago many times, but this was my first river/lake cruise. I learned about the locks with how they worked and the history behind them. Although it was cloudy, the skyline of Chicago at night was breathtaking.

Nice but could be more food and space to sit Workers could be more welcoming Water was pretty , very calming We were packed like sardines though ok the boat Drinks should have been included I'll give the experience a 8

We started off on the boat while it was cloudy and raining, and towards the end of it, when we had the whole city in view, the sun came out and the rain had stopped. it was absolutely stunning! and the ride was so relaxing. definitely recommend

Learned quite a bit about the various buildings in Chicago from the friendly tour guide. Interesting to see the lock operations.

We booked a sunset cruise for Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 7pm. The tour was supposed to be one and a half hours long. We didn't get to see the sunset and didn't get off the boat until 10:00 pm. It was an absolute disaster. The boat sat for a full hour and by the time it started moving, we missed the sunset. I understand that things happen, but the way it was all handled was ridiculous. Even though the passengers were stuck on the boat until 10:00 pm, the servers closed all services at 8:30 pm and would not serve us drinks or snacks. There was also no offer of a discount or refund either for missing the SUNSET and making us sit at a stand still for the majority of the tour. Even once it started moving, it just went in circles for a while before sitting once again. For the 3 hours we were stuck, we may have moved for 20 minutes. Waste of money and time. Customer service was absolutely horrible.

This tour is NOT what we expected. They don’t tell you that they have no idea about the timing of the lock and you will be sitting there for over 40 minutes on each side. We missed the sunset, and yet received no sympathy from tour guide nor captain at that fact. This was a really horrific experience being trapped on a boat for almost 4 hours. The captain at one point stopped giving us updates and just started hightailing it back to the dock blowing his horn in our ears in an effort to get back before the fireworks. We just BARELY got back in time to see the fireworks. This was overall a 5/10 experience and i’m only giving it that high because their cocktails were good and the view was still quite stunning. ***ALSO warning to those who are doing their architecture tour, just skip it. This tour guide has the exact same spiel and this one was far more informative.
