The Chicago River Architecture Cruise through Wendella and Headout was a great experience overall. Booked for a work team building and culture event and the group had a great time on the cruise connecting and enjoying the tour. The process was easy from purchase to day-of boarding. Highly recommend booking for your next team event.

We took our grandkids, 10 and 7 on a Wendella cruise yesterday. It was perfect! Our city was sparkling, the boat was comfortable, clean and well staffed. Our guide, Kenny, was so fun! Very knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. 45 minutes was just the right amount of time with kids. Thanks!

The weather was perfect, the narrator was excellent, and this was my third time taking visitors on the architecture tour by Wendella. Can't say enough good things - our visitors loved it.

I visited the USA for the first time and had an amazing experience on this cruise. I really enjoyed everything, from the beautiful views to the fun activities onboard. I took lots of photos and shared them with my family, and they were very happy to see them. The whole trip was perfectly balanced with exciting entertainment and calm, relaxing moments to unwind. Thank you, Headout, for such a wonderful experience.

The announcer had perfect inflection in her voice. She captivated your attention was extremely informative yet not over the top cheesy. The volume could be turned up a little louder but so much was fit into a perfect time it was unexpectedly great

The tour itself was amazing and so beautiful at night with all the lights. It would have been a perfect tour if not for the screaming baby next to me the whole time, I could not hear the tour guide at all so I missed out on what the different architecture was and the history of the buildings. I was disappointed to pay that much and miss out on 50% of the experience.
