Absolutely loved the virtual flyover experience! It was such a cool and unique way to see Chicago, and honestly way more immersive than I expected. The views were amazing, and the whole experience was fun from start to finish. Definitely something I’d recommend if you’re visiting Chicago and looking to do something a little different!

A lot of great locations to take pictures filled with interesting history and the guide Joseph was knowledgable and fun. Definitely recommend this tour

Beautiful ways to learn about Chicago history and architecture of many amazing buildings in the downtown area!

Amazing tour with family from the UK. Sam S was the best! Great energy and knowledge of the city and it’s architecture.

Excellent experience on The First Lady. The docent was fascinating and kept everyone’s attention with his knowledge of Chicago and its architecture. I highly recommend this tour.

The docent was great, very interesting and informative.

Great experience! Bridgette and Noah were so helpful explaining how to get the best photo ops. They took our group photos as well. Fun group experience. Would recommend for team building!

Took the Architecture Boat Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nathan was informative and humorous! I had no idea the history of Chicago and its beautiful buildings.

Amazing loved it the tour goes was very good and frendly

This tour was so much fun! Great for crime junkies!

Do the twilight trip! It was amazing. Get there early for a seat on the top deck. We were in the back on the benches and it was *chefs kiss*

Outstanding experience, our family including teenager, were in delight and awe in this expansive and exciting vision of Chicago. It was just such a great fun, and none of us wanted it to end.The movie itself also had incredible editing and was so immersive, dynamic and inspiring.We only had a very short time in Chicago and hoped this movie/experience Flyover Chicago would give us a condensed view of the magic that is Chicago. It absolutely exceeded those expectations.Our only regret is that we didn't also pre-purchase the Canadian Flyover movie. As soon as we left the theater, we were googling 'Flyover' to see when and where we could see their other productions.We, all of us, would do this again when we are next able to visit Chicago. And Navy Pier, where Flyover Chicago is located, is so much fun to explore and experience as well.

I found it informative and our tour guide; Kenny, did an amazing job of explaining the history of the architecture and making it fun while interacting with customers.

You learn a lot about the city of Chicago. Great ride with Alex doing the commentary. He was very knowledgable

This museum is one of our favorites we’ve ever been to. So much to see, we felt like we didn’t even scratch the surface being there for 3 1/2 hours. We’d love to go back next time we are in Chicago! Highly recommend!

Our guide Sarah was great. Very knowledgeable about Chicago and its rich history. We really enjoyed our time and highly recommend this tour.
