Beautiful! - We went on the Skyline Chicago River boat tour back in October, it was very windy. But also, very pretty! Really enjoyed it and got some great pics of the skyline and water. Loved it!

Nice family ride - Nice boat ride, but hard to hear the pre-recorded messages. We went on a very windy day and it was great to be under cover. However, I think our trip was cut a little short due to waves.

Chicago A go go!! - Fabulous and informative. Short and sweet but enjoyable. Definitely recommend. 👍
I would say perfect for info and some history but panoramas are stunning. Possibly the best skyline I’ve ever seen.

Mosquito Nest. - Great weather for a tour with calm waters, but the boat was a mosquito nest. It all started well and we were in the middle of the tour, we got attacked by a swam of Mosquitoes, which I believe to be residing inside the vessel. When we got back on shore, nothing was done to address the issue.

Not worth the ride - Not worth the ride too expensive for nothing, you better off walking to see the city of Chicago, instead of looking at it from this boat that it’s really only 25 minute boat ride.
