Was a good view of the city from Lake Michigan! It was a hot day and advise to wear a hat as there is no shade on top of the boat but still enjoyed the ride!

I wish I hadn't spent the money for this tour. In all honesty the tour of lake was just ok but not very impressive after taking the sunset river tour the previous night. I thought the river tour would be only in the river but it also went out into the lake. There is no tour more impressive than the Chicago skyline at sunset or at night. If you are going to spend the money for boat tours, I suggest Wendella's Sunset Cruise.

Ok for the price but nothing much than cruising the boat for 40 minutes.
