Great tour.
It was very interesting and super informative. Our guide was very educated and she was very nice to us.
Tour guide was fantastic! Knowledgable, entertaining, and very funny :) Great experience for anyone new to the city.
Tour and tour guide was excellent. My problem was with booking the online tour. The website was slow and I was not given Senior discount and I wanted two tickets, only processed one ticket with no Senior discount. Tried to speak with Ladies before the tour, but they were not helpful or interested in anything but selling me another ticket. I did purchase one Senior ticket, but no refund for over charging for first ticket.
It was a cold and choppy day but the staff and guide were simply the best. I was left in awe of Chicago architecture and the stories behind it. I highly recommend this tour!
Great tour. The tour guide was so passionate and knowledgeable about architecture and beautiful Chicago. Better than we had expected. Sit on the right side (starboard)of the boat.
I've lived in Chicago my whole life and never experienced it this way. Al was an amazing guide. I'd go again. Eating at Pinched just off the doc put a perfect cap to our day trip.
