Good Times!!

Great experience! Emma was very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks are very reasonably priced and the music was great! Even though it was cloudy due to the rain, the views were still amazing!

Must see tour

The tour guide was very informative and engaging. I've been to Chicago many times, but this was my first river/lake cruise. I learned about the locks with how they worked and the history behind them. Although it was cloudy, the skyline of Chicago at night was breathtaking.
