“Such a great time!! Sam was our guide, and he was phenomenal. He told us the history of not only the buildings, but the city as a whole, and its relation to the nature it resides besides. Sam gave us historical and cultural context behind many architectural styles. He also had some great jokes. The cow puns… udderly hilarious. My friend and I are from Omaha (also called River City by locals), and we wish that our hometown had a river architectural tour like this.”

“The tour and tourguide were great! The time flew by and it was very interesting. If you have someone who needs the elevator to get to the dock, be sure to call the company for detailed instructions on how to get there. The staff was very helpful.”

“We really appreciate the service—our tour was both enjoyable and meaningful. We loved getting a historical view of the city and listening to such a professional and friendly guide. We actually wanted to leave a tip but didn’t have any cash with us. Having a barcode or QR code option for tipping would be really helpful. We also noticed how friendly the people around us were—they waved and interacted with us, which made the experience even better. Overall, it really changed the way I thought about Chicago.”

“Very exotic experience, another good way to know about Chicago history beside just regular tourist spots”

“Evening was the perfect time to view the architecture along the river and Amy was a great tour guide.”

“Skydeck was brilliant experience, well organised and we'll worth the great experience.”

“I recently had the pleasure of joining a boat tour led by our fantastic guide, Dillon, and Captain Albert, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment we set sail, it was clear that we were in for an unforgettable experience. Dillon's enthusiasm and extensive knowledge made the tour both informative and engaging. He shared fascinating stories and insights about the local history and landmarks, making every moment on the water feel special. His passion for the area was contagious, and he encouraged questions, ensuring everyone felt involved. Captain Albert was the perfect complement to Dillon's guiding. His skillful navigation and calm demeanor made us feel safe and…”

“Very informative, interesting and exciting tour would highly recommend to all. Our guide was excellent. Sorry I could not find it out his name.”

“Very informative. Bring a small blanket- it was chilly. But if you’re hot, you could sit on the blanket. The chairs were pretty uncomfortable.”

“Sarah was a great guide with a lot of interesting facts about the Chicago architecture. The 45 minute tour was just enough time to get a feel for the history of the city. The boat was comfortable and there were lots of seats for the guests. Highly recommend this tour.”

“It was really interesting and a great tiur.. The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because the bus was cold inside..No heat on a cold day”

“We had the BEST guide of all time! A lovely tour with so much to learn - would absolutely tell a friend to try this when they visit Chicago.”

“We were combined with the Holiday food tour to make a group of 14 (Christmas Eve). Our guide, Fran, was personable and knowledgeable, and kept the group moving. My husband and I enjoyed the food and the stories--it was a great introduction to the city of Chicago.”
