Lower level deck that is climate controlled is not for routine seating but only for the cafe with a few tables. Becomes overcrowded early on, you can't see the buildings from the lower level windows. Otherwise the tour itself is interesting. Wouldn't do it in the winter months.

Nice cruise down the river. We did the 3:30 cruise and it was great. Your guide was funny and informative. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area. It’s a nice view of the skyline. Worth the price for us.

Enjoy a relaxing, historic and current event tour of Chicago’s ‘other shoreline’. Boats are clean, safe, punctual and very informative. Recommended on a warm summer evening. See the hidden side of the windy city.

Their tour guide was awesome. She is very knowledgeable, and the English accent made it so pleasant to hear. Bring a jacket in October.

Loved this tour! A great way to see the city. Our guide was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable, wish I could remember her name! Shame some of the guests were speaking over her but she remained calm and polite. Would highly recommend.

Perfect quick tour of Chicago architecture. We choose right before sunset so got some day and night shots. I could see it being good for sunny days too. Tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable. Gets cold so bring layers. My gf said it was the perfect length and loved it. She said any longer might be too much for her. I imagine kids might think the same lol.

Fantastic. This boat ride was perfect. We did an evening one which prevented you from seeing some details but surely the sight of the buildings lit up more than makes up for those details. Zach was an expert and gave us so much interesting information. A highlight of our trip for sure.

It was a very smooth booking from start to finish. There was already a big line even 1/2 hour before the departure. The tour guy was very knowledgeable and it was a very informative tour. I must add as I mostly lip read, I missed out lots of info he was sharing. I wish there had been some visual help for "us people ! " other than that, we enjoyed it and it was short and sweet. Will recommend!!!!

It was a beautiful day on the water. Learned so much about Chicago history and it's architecture. Narrator was super knowledgeable. The Lake is amazing to see.

It was an informative and fun tour. Definitely not boring or stuffy. Our host, Kenny, was the perfect combination of well-informed and fun. We really appreciated seeing the Chicago skyline, going through the locks, and then cruising the river.

What a lovely way to see Chicago all light up at night. Would really recommend to anyone. What an insight to all the buildings and air rights xx

Outstanding tour. Our guide, Alex, was exceptionally knowledgeable and a great story teller. He also provided local restaurant tips and offered to take photos of passengers with the amazing scenery in the background. Great experience!

Wonderful tour. Zach was an incredible tour guide. I’m so much more knowledgeable about the history and architectural background of Chicago. I never knew that they changed the directional flow of the Chicago river. The weather was perfect. We were lucky to have such a nice day. Highly recommend.

I have done 2 river boat tours in the past in Chicago and this one by far was my favorite. The boat was nice and spacious, the staff was friendly, and the tour guide was outstanding. We enjoyed all of the information around the buildings as well as the history behind Chicago including some fun facts. Going out on Lake Michigan was cherry on top.

Great little tour out and back - shame it wasn't longer but we had a great time. Fantastic sights and the tour guide was spot on.
