The waves coming up over the side onto the boat’s windows!!! Very exciting ! Next time I will do this in the summer!

Always a great experience seeing this city from the water. Even though the weather didn’t give us a beautiful sunset, the tour is a spectacular way to spend an evening. Our tour guide John went above and beyond and was a wealth of knowledge!

Jack was our guide. Very charismatic guy. Bonus points for the trivia game. The sunset was amazing. Perfect. Dreamy. I fell in love with Chicago.

Great crew and tour guide Kaye. Great view of sunset from Lake Michigan. Also spectacular view of downtown at night.

Incredible mini-tour of the river followed by watching the sun set behind the city skyline. Recommend highly, the captain and tour guide were engaging, crew competent, money and time well-spent.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable about each of the buildings and the information was appropriate for us. It was interesting and not overwhelming. Chicago skyline was great and it was a treat to ride on Michigan river

Geeat trip! Tour guide, Molly, was very knowledgeable. Excellwnt experience. We got to stay on the cruise for longer than 1.5 hrs due to an incident inside the locks and crew was great at handling it.

Cruise lasted 1 hour longer than expected because of another boat's problems. We had no plans, nor parking problems, so it was an added bonus for us.

Our sunset cruise was disrupted by a barge that had to clear the locks getting out into Lake Michigan. The boat crew explained the situation, turned the music on, and we all just waited (for a while). Then the tour guide came back over the mic and said that instead of a sunset over Lake Michigan, we would be seeing fireworks from Navy Pier! Once again - they turned up the music and we were treated to an amazing fireworks display! Well played, Wendella! Our cruise looked a little different than expected, but still such a memorable time!
