Wow so excellent Sarah explained the sights along with the architectural designs of the building. She kept the tour fast and entertaining never missing a beat. Great to see Chicago at night from the harbor, relaxing will do again,,,,,,
Great!! Shelby was EXCELLENT guide. Very informative. Bartender was outstanding as well.
The tour itself was great, and we really enjoyed seeing the city at night and hearing its history. The instructions on where to depart from, however, are not clear, and we weren’t sure which dock area to go go to line up for the boat. We kept asking until someone said we were in the right place. There were no signs at all that said “Viator” anywhere. We felt like the boat stayed out in the lake too long, and the tour took over 2 hours instead of 90 minutes. But overall, we still feel it was the best way to see the skyline at night which is beautiful.
Highly HIGHLY recommend this! We were worried the night cruise would be bad, but it was literally perfect! It left right about sunset, took us out to the lake, and we got the most amazing views! The tour guide was great too!
Cruise was wonderful, only slow point was going through the lock, twice I realize this had to be done, but would have almost preferred going the other way down river , just my opinion. Still highly recommend this cruise.
Wonderful experience. Many beautiful scenes. Angry at my camera when it jammed. Missed so much.
This tour was amazing!
This was a great tour! They give you a lot of history and the buildings you sail past on the Chicago river. Going through the lock to get onto lake Michigan was neat. The view of the skyline from the lake was spectacular!
