Experience the best Wendella Cruises in Chicago

We could not have had a better guide. Alex, you were amazing. Your knowledge and the way you are able to communicate it are top tier. You are witty and funny. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The architectural boat cruise was a great way to see the city and learn about the buildings while enjoying a break from walking. The tour guide was very informative. It was nice to be able to walk around the boat and get different views too!

Wendella boat tours are wonderful, I have been on several. My favorite is the Lake and River cruise. The Dosets are very knowledgeable about the city. The scenery of the downtown from the lake view is spectacular. I highly recommend this tour. It was my third this summer!

We booked a dinner on the didn't know what boat it was. Once we kept walking and found out it was the Spirit of Chicago, we got aboard and thanked them for the grace period. After being shown to our seats, we got to enjoy the amazing view of the city. It was our anniversary and Destiny treated very well! I totally forgot it was a buffet and couldn't have been more happier. The food was really out of this world. The variety, the flavors, it was a whole experience. We hopped on the dance floor for a bit, ordered more (pretty large) drinks, and went outside to take pictures of the sunset. Amazing experience... Can't wait to do it again!

We had a gorgeous and wonderful evening celebrating my birthday. Lauren, our server, was fabulous. We had a great starter, Mediterranean plate. The 3 course meal was delicious. We enjoyed great music, dancing, cocktails and wine list. Great evening all the way around.

I very much enjoyed the cruise, but it ended up being a lot longer than expected and we had to go to dinner afterwards so if I had known it was gonna be more than 90 minutes, I don't know if I would have planned it so close to dinner. They had explained that this cruise was gonna be a little different but I didn't hear why they said it was gonna be different. We had to pull over a couple times to stop so I don't know what was going on. The views of the buildings and the sunset were really nice. I couldn't really hear what they were saying about the buildings & the history of them because we sat downstairs but if I was to do this again, I would try and get a better seat so I can hear them hear them speaking about what we're seeing.

The cruise was phenomenal. The sites themselves were well chosen for a shorter tour (I did one of the full length ones before) and the guide was knowledgeable, passionate and amusing. Not to mention that it was incredibly affordable. Even my skeptical friend who I dragged along for the experience had a blast. . I highly recommend this tour!

Our boat tour in Chicago was such a wonderful experience! From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt organized, relaxing, and enjoyable. The views of the Chicago skyline from the water were absolutely breathtaking, and it was amazing to see the city from such a different perspective. The architecture was definitely the highlight, and seeing the famous buildings along the river while learning about their history made the experience even more special. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. They shared interesting stories and facts about Chicago’s architecture, history, and landmarks without making the tour feel overwhelming. The pace was perfect, giving us plenty of time to take pictures, enjoy the scenery, and simply take in the beautiful surroundings. The boat itself was comfortable, clean, and provided great views throughout the entire tour. It was also nice to have a relaxing break from walking around the city while still being able to explore and learn about Chicago. Overall, I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting Chicago, whether it’s your first time in the city or you’re a local looking for something fun to do. It was relaxing, informative, and memorable. Definitely an experience I would love to do again!
