My wife and I really enjoyed the architectural boat tour. Lots of very interesting facts related to Chicago's history that most people will never have a clue about. Quite the shame as there's so much there. Tour just touched the surface I'm sure but a big eye opener for sure.

The tour was very well planned and the story behind the buildings and places of interest in Chicago was very good.

Our experience was amazing. This was our second architectural river cruise since coming to regularly since 2004 - so glad we did the "updated" version! We chose the sunset cruise this time. Our docent was so entertaining and informative, the ties to art and history were fascinating. We did have an issue with a family seated directly in front of us, using selfie sticks with extremely bright light attachments to the point that it was difficult to see at times. We (and other passengers) dealt with it and certainly don't blame the staff, but an announcement regarding lighting on the sunset cruise might be of help! Otherwise most passengers were very respectful and polite. 10/10 would recommend this event!

What a delightful way to see the beautiful city of Chicago! We took this tour on a lovely, sunny spring day and were able to enjoy the tour from the top of the double decker bus. But it's good to know that the lower inside level is available for cooler days or inclement weather. Listening to the guided tour via complimentary headsets was interesting and fun. Bus drivers were very polite and helpful. Being able to use the day pass all day long and get off occasionally to see favorite sites is a wonderful opportunity. Love this tour!!

It's a good idea the bus to see many places in one day. The thing to improve is better signs of the bus stops, and some workers are rude. Don't forget that we pay as tourist to see and enjoy your city, so the human part is very important for us, don't be rude and answer like if we are annoying you.

We are very happy that we did this cruise! I would say the best cruise I've ever made. Our guide Charlie was a major part in this though. Without him that would only have been half as good.
