What a fantastic experience! This cruise is definitely a “must do” for anyone visiting Chicago. It’s great to go with family and/or friends, but it’s just as fun going on your own. Here are some highlights and suggestions for others:
We chose to go at 5:00pm simply because it fit our schedule and I’m SO glad we did. The sun was still out at the start of the cruise, but it wasn’t hot or shining right at our eyes. The sun then started to set and by the time we finished the cruise, it was dark. It was BEAUTIFUL!
Because of the time we went, it was cold, so I suggest bringing some gear to keep you warm. Get ready for the cold wind blowing in your face.
Last but not least, our tour guide, Kevin, was the best. He is an entertaining and funny storyteller. This experience made me truly appreciate the architecture and history of Chicago which I have never felt by just walking around the city. I want to go again someday!
