An excellent tour of Chicago architecture
A very enjoyable and informative tour. In particular, the view of the Chicago skyline from Lake Michigan was spectacular. Thank you to Dave for his interesting and humorous commentary.
Totally worth it!
The tour is totally worth it!! They take you to the river and back. Then after leveling the water between the river and lake they take you into the lake. I would recommend to sit up front.
The docent was excellent...
The docent was excellent - knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. It was my first time on Lake Michigan, but not my first tour of the River. It was definitely worth the extra time and money!
