Our guide Rick was knowledgeable and entertaining. I hosted visitors from out of town who had already been on architectural boat tours. All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our awesome guide. You see the red busses everywhere but give this one a try!

This tour was great, funny, and informative. I recommend anyone who is visiting Chicago to take this tour. There are 4 photo stops and along the way, you'll learn about Chicago. There are some interesting facts and the host knew what he was talking about. The picture stops were beautiful and the ride was smooth as it's not packed at all. I would definitely recommend this. Be ready for the jokes lol. There is a boat tour after but I didn't go on that one. I think this tour is a perfect way to sum up Chicago's history. Snacks and water are okay to bring along. I would do another tour with this company if I visit Chicago again.
