This was a great tour to see downtown Chicago. The view of the buildings was one to remember, but what really took everyone's breath was the view from Lake Michigan! Word of warning though, that lake tends to be a bit on the chilly side at night.
We have previously done Chicago River tours during the day. So impressed with the river/lake tour at night. Chicago skyline always delivers. The boat ride was safe and entertaining. I will definitely be on this cruise again.
This was an informative and beautiful experience. It was a great experience from booking to the end of the tour.
Great staff with a very nice boat. The tour was fun and informative. Very enjoyable time. If you like Chicago and want to see the skyline all lit up this is a great option.
The Chicago By Night River and Lake Cruise was outstanding. The director of the tour was funny, very knowledgeable and engaging. The boat was clean and the bartenders were skilled. The organizers were professional and I really enjoyed my time. I’m glad I did it
