Experience the best of Chicago

Overall, the boat cruise was a great experience\. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the scenery and atmosphere were beautiful\. Everything was set up nicely and had the potential to be an amazing time\. Unfortunately, the DJ completely ruined the vibe\. The music selection was terrible, there was no energy, and it never got the crowd engaged\. On a cruise like this, the DJ really sets the tone for the entire experience, and this one missed the mark\. If the cruise gets a new DJ, I would definitely recommend it\. Everything else was great, but the entertainment needs a major upgrade\.

The Chicago Architecture Cruise by First Lady was fascinating. Our docent was so knowledgeable about the history, engineering feats, and even some political reasons why and how these amazing skyscrapers were built. The "fun facts" were so intriguing. It is definitely worth your time. P.S. if you go on a sunny day, don't forget your sunscreen.....however if you do forget, they have some on-board to purchase!😉

It was a great easy ride around the city thanks to the captain. We liked how you timed the cruise so people could see the sunset just in time. Boarding was easy. The guide was informative but not intrusive in letting people enjoy the view to the nice music. It was a very pleasant experience and I will recommend to anyone I know who is visiting Chicago. It was truly the highlight of my visit.

I loved everything about the cruise, from the beautiful views to the energy and enthusiasm of our host, he made it so much fun and very informative, we learned a lot about Chicago and its history, I didn't know that The Dark Knight was filmed here that was cool! Only one thing stood out to us, our host seemed to have trouble keeping some people quiet throughout the ride even though he specifically asked us to stay quiet multiple times, to enforce his rules I believe security would be a good option, the people did try to get hostile but eventually stopped, other than that I loved the experience!

This tour covered a lot more buildings than I though it would, it felt as though the guide had something to say about nearly every building we passed. For 45 minutes, the guide, who did speak pretty quickly, was able to fit in so much information! I also appreciate the sense of humor with which the tour was given; this and other factors made it so that you didn't at any point feel like you were being lectured at and want to zone out. I was engaged the whole time. One of the best parts was heading closer to the mouth of the river and being shown such a scenic view of the city, this was beautiful! Though I would consider doing a longer cruise because I would have loved to learn more, this is very worthwhile in and of itself and especially if you only have (exactly) 45 minutes.

I thoroughly enjoyed the architectural cruise! Our guide, Liz, was exceptionally knowledgeable and entertaining, bringing the city’s architecture and history to life. We were given plenty of opportunities to take beautiful photographs throughout the tour. The onboard bar was reasonably priced, and the bartender was incredibly friendly. The young men assisting on the boat were polite and professional, and the captain warmly addressed everyone shortly after boarding. We would definitely recommend this tour—it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

Embarking on the Premier Fireworks Dinner Cruise was an unforgettable experience. The evening began with a delicious meal, complemented by breathtaking views as the sun set. As twilight descended, the anticipation for the fireworks grew, and the display itself was absolutely spectacular. The vibrant colors and synchronized explosions against the night sky created a truly magical atmosphere. We wholeheartedly recommend this cruise for anyone seeking a memorable and visually stunning evening. The only issue is the directions to actual place at the pier from which the ship sets sail. Get there early to avoid any confusion.

What I enjoy about the cruise was the DJ and the nice people working on the cruise me and my wife will definitely be back!!!
