Great Bus/River Tour - Rick was an excellent tour guide/driver. He was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We opted for the bus tour plus the architectural river cruise. The river cruise was wonderful- lots of interesting information and excellent photo ops. The weather was a little iffy and we got a little bit of rain, but once it cl seed it made for some beautiful photos.

Entertaining awesome views - Great trip with entertaining guide. Awesome views of Chicago architecture. There’s even a bar downstairs but I didn’t want to miss a single view and I don’t think anyone else went to the bar either.

A Few Hours Well Spent! - I was in Chicago for my birthday weekend and booked the 10am Small Group City Tour. Rick, was nice enough to pick me up at my hotel since I was staying in the downtown area. We then went on a journey to explore key parts of the city. I loved hearing the back stories of some of the buildings and landmarks we saw. Rick also suggested some good dining places in the area!

A must see for anyone visiting the Windy City - Seeing the different shapes and hearing how and why they came to be was most interesting. The boat captain and the tour guide worked together well.
