Chicago river Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Everything was great! I Grew up in Chicago, and never took a river tour . The next one will be Lake Michigan and Chicago river combined. Also let me add my tour was in January… yes it was cold.. but bearable. My next one will be in the summer months.

Amazing experience in Chicago

Published on Jan, 2025

The views were amazing! We took so many pictures. It was a beautiful day! The tour operator was the best! The 45 minutes were well spent and I would recommend this tour to everyone!

A+ nice guide

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour guide seemed like a movie star. Sorta a Hollywood type vibe, he was awesome. I’ve been on a few of these cruises and it is one of the best! Would return and liked how it was cheaper (that’s why I picked this one)

Beautiful!!!

We toured the city at sunset and it was absolutely beautiful! Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny! I would 100% do it again!

Solo Traveler in Chicago❤️

Published on Jan, 2025

This was very great experience. I booked this tour for myself. It was very informative and the guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Even in the freezing cold, below 0, they made it worth it. The architecture was out of this world. Chicago is a beautiful city!
