Great views on this tour, highly recommend! Our tour guide was great. We went on the last tour of the night, the lights were great on this tour. The boat has a bar with a few treats (chips, pre bagged Garrets popcorn and candy) along with seasonal drinks and soda. The boat does have a rest room.

A must do in Chicago! A great way to learn about the architecture and history of Chicago. It’s a very smooth ride for those that get worried about motion sickness. The tour guide had a good sense of humor and kept it interesting!

It was raining outside – in this company did not provide a dry area to stand while waiting for the boat. This was a good opportunity to maybe hand out some temporary umbrellas – but instead – they were just OK with everybody getting soaked. Not a great trip.

Awesome tour. Exactly 90 minutes as advertised. Non stop history. Anyone seeking the history of Chicago should do this.
