Anthony our river guide was so awesome. He was super fun and had us laughing and intrigued by the history of Chicago and the river the whole time. The sights were incredible and it was a very much worth-it experience.

This was the highlight of our trip. There were chill spots on this route where we saw birds and turtles, then looking up at all the building and lights from down in the water is a great view. The route is well timed and a nice pace. The crew is super friendly.
