Excellent time spent in Chicago. Decided at the last minute to book a tour on the water. Company was very accommodating and took off promptly for the tour at the scheduled time. Very happy.

Lovely host and was full of information. Was great to see and learn about all the different building along the river. Lovely bar downstairs as well - nice and warm!
