Traveler reviews
Don’t miss this one
Bookings are full, so get there at least a half hour before boarding to ensure you get seats together. Absolutely wonderful experience. Guide explains the history of buildings on the Chicago river then Boat goes to Lake Michigan for the sunset. You’re able to see Navy pier Hancock building, Sirrius (Willis) tower and many other Chicago landmarks coming back. The sky is beautifully lit.
Very nice and relaxing!...
Very nice and relaxing! It was our first for this cruise and we really enjoyed it. Now it did rain while on the boat and after we got off. The cruise still go on in all types of weather. Over all it was very nice. A must go if you haven’t been.
Dancing at sunset
I was traveling all alone (63 yrs old), they were playing music on the boat and when Tennessee Whiskey came on, couples were dancing! I approached the guide, a young man named Kenny and told him I was alone and had no one to dance with. He put his microphone down and took me in his arms and we danced. He said no one had ever asked him before. What a great guy to do that for me. Great trip
Sunset cruise
May not see the sunset as promised. Depends on water authority, we spent most of our time unable to move due the gate way not open and over crowded with other boats.
Lovely way to end a Chicago day
A lovely way to end a day with friends in Chicago. We had a stunning view of the city skyline and the sun setting behind it. It was fun experiencing the lock system first hand. Would recommend as a good way to end your day.
