We were lucky we had a clear, sunny day! It was a great view of the Chicago skyline from the lake. Our host/tour person was knowledgeable, spoke clearly, and professional.

I'm not an architect buff but the tour was really interesting. I took this tour over the others because it went out into lake Michigan. Watching the channel lock was my favorite part. The lake is 4 get higher than the river and you can see that when the open the channel!

We attended the 7.00pm tour. Weather and sunset were amazing. The captain gave clear instructions before we boarded the boat (which was difficult to hear) but then also again before setting off. The guide was professional, knowledgeable beyond we hoped for and brought it to us in a most entertaining way. It made the trip therefore memorable and we could not have had a better time. Thank you.

Tour was great but was disappointed when we arrived to learn we could have saved $9 per ticket at the gate. Viator price was not a good deal!
