The tour guide driver who dropped me off Navy Pier today around 4pm was excellent. I think her name was Clarissa? Or something like it. Her enthusiastic sharing of historical information about many Chicago landmarks and events was outstanding.!!! Please give her a bonus or a raise in pay; she is a credit to your company.

This was awesome. Since I arrived well before the scheduled time, a staff member updated my reservation on his own, and I was able to start the tour right away. It was really cool—not too crowded—and I got some great photos of Chicago. I highly recommend this tour.

The views from the top are spectacular!!! You truly get 360 degree views that include the lake to the skyline. Absolutely breathtaking! This is a must do experience for anyone visiting the city. The elevator ride is smooth and takes only 45 seconds to reach the top floor (94th floor). Would love to do this again on my next visit to Chicago.

The whole process—from buying tickets through the app to our skip-the-line visit to the 360Chicado Observation Deck—went very smoothly, and we didn’t waste a single minute! Even with our packed schedule—since we were attending a medical conference—we still had time left over for this interesting visit with friends and for a drink while taking in the city views!

    The observation deck is high enough to view the whole city, also close enough to the water/beach to enjoy the beautiful blues.
