It was cold day, but the experience was still great. The guide was well spoken and super knowledgeable. She also gave us breaks to warm up below. The sights were amazing and learned a lot of Chicago history too!

My tour guide, Mr. Pickard, infused his genuine love and appreciation for Chicago into his tour. He worked in the history, pride and vitality of Chicago into his architecture lecture. The 90 minutes passed in a flash.

Knowledgeable tour guide, kept it interesting with stories etc. Entering and exiting cruise was easy. It was a full boat but it didn’t feel cramped in. It can get very cold in the winter months so come prepared
