The boat ride was amazing. We got to see and learn all about downtown Chicago. The boat we rode was a little cramped but I will definitely ride again!

We had a terrific adventure on the 45 minute river tour... just perfect for my granddaughters, 5 & 7 yrs. old. The river was green for St. Patrickās Day, and our guide was fun & informative... such a fun, family experience!!
