Fantastic experience- Ken was very good tour guide with lots of humor. Very thoughtful to talk slow and wait for me to translate to my Dad about all history and jokes he told us. I will recommend my friends and family to have this great experience too.

Captain Ken was a fantastic guide and our boat tour was a highlight of our trip. I am so glad we chose this over the big tour boats, way more fun and way faster!

Captain Ken was well informed about the history of Chicago as went throughout the tour, he was very personable and friendly. This was my first time on a boat excursion and I felt very safe even when we caught some wind. This was an amazing tour! Captain Ken also offered and took great photos for us!

Thank you Grace! The city of Chicago gets windy quick and the weather can change while on your tour. We like to brief passengers prior to departure to ensure they dress appropriately for their tour. We are happy that you chose this tour boat company over others as your first time on a boat excursion
