“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.”

“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.”

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

“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…”
