This tour opens up a whole new side of the city. I learned more about Chicago history & architecture than I ever did in school - as a Chi native… also, you are in great and skilled hands with Ken. Highly recommend this as a gift idea

We had an amazing experience with Blackhawk! We booked a private tour at 8am - and wow - what a perfect time of day to see Chicago! Captain Ken is an excellent skipper with a tremendous fund of knowledge. He gave us a comprehensive and broad overview of Chicago and its architecture. He was kind and patient with our boys who ask a lot of questions. And, he provided great communication before and after the trip. This experience was the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend Blackhawk and Captain Ken!!

Capt. Ken has lots of patience since he is a school teacher in Chicago, but enjoys the questions asked because it gives him a challenge on the tour. If he doesn't know it he will investigate and research so he can build his plethora of knowledge in Chicago.

Most memorable part of the experience was the boat ride to the down town river. It was so fascinating
