Good for an evening boat ride. Booked it for girlfriend from Mexico. They need two or three bar keepers to serve quick at the turn around.

We had some friends visiting from Guadalajara, Mexico and wanted to take them on a architectural tour of Chicago. The cruise was delightful and informative. The lady narrating the tour was excellent. The cruise staff were all friendly and helpful.

Una excursión muy chula, sin duda. Te deja una impresión bastante aproximada de la historia de los edificios que bordean el río y la guía muy buena también, muy didáctica y con comentarios curiosos que te animan a mantener la atención durante todo el recorrido. La recomendaría, seguro.

Chicago is amazing. Taking the tour only made it all the more amazing. I only wish I had taken it earlier in the vacation. Burnham is a true visionary.

It was very interesting to learn about the history of most of the buildings surrounding the canal. Too many of them. Totally recommend.
