Chicago for first-timers

First time in Chicago. Decided to do this night one just to get a feel for the city. It was raining and the views were still amazing!

I had the best experience at the Skydeck Chicago. It was magical. I highly recommend going there and experiencing it. Also, Headout app made it easy to book tickets right from the comfort of your couch.

I enjoyed going so far out into Lake Michigan for all the pictures I could handle of the Chicago coastline! It was absolutely beautiful! Did I mention this was the Night Cruise? It was beyond exquisite! It was so great, in fact, I had to video call my family and show them THIS part of my journey! They were so excited and impressed! Also, our guide Doug was awesome! The info and history he had about the various buildings and locations gave me the truest sense of a tour that kept me interested and wanting to come back for more! Thank you for bringing him on-board with us! Even with his mandated quota of bad jokes!

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.

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!

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.
