The guides were so sweet, knowledgeable and awesome. Please let them know they are doing a great job and keep up the great work. They were the ones leading the last night paddle.

Guides careful about safety (as I expect); conscientious about struggling paddlers; and a really wonderful trip.

We had kayaked with kayak chicago last fall when we came to visit our college daughter. We had such a good time we booked another for this year, this time for an evening paddle and brought our other 3 children to enjoy. We kayak in lakes at home, but we benefitted so much from the guides, equipment and comraderie. It was a ton of fun and an amazing way to see the city, day or night. Thanks for a memorable evening!
