Ken was an amazing tour guide!
The service Wendella provides is TOTALLY TOP NOTCH!! They are accomodating and Handicap accessible.
For thise visiting during fall winter (November time like we did)...make sure you are bundled up if you want to be on the top deck. They have a nice climate control and handicap accessible lower deck.
They are family oriented SUPER DUPER CLEAN...and the tour kept my 2.5 year old toddler fascinated!

Highly recommended!! We are from Nashville, Tn and this explained every building to us. We are only visiting and had NO idea what each building’s name was. Very thankful for Wendella and their crew. Very informative and worth the money and time. The scenery is unREAL! Do the 90 minute tour to take in both sides of Chicago! Also had an awesome bar and snacks available on board! Thank you Wendella. Wonderful experience !

Our tour guide was absolutely delightful, entertaining and full of information. The COVID-19 and social distancing procedures in place made us feel as safe as can be expected. The bartender had absolutely no personality and was not friendly at all. Fortunately, the tour guide made up for that!
