Highly Disappointed

We had reserved and purchased tickets in advance through Viator. However, on the day of the booking, my family and I were informed that our reservations were not valid due to booking through a third party, despite possessing a booking confirmation number. After a 45-minute discussion, we were ultimately unable to board and participate in the experience.

A wonderful experience!!

It was an amazing experience with my best friend for her birthday. The food & view of the Chicago riverside was incredible. Leslie, our server was fantastic was the cornerstone of our experience. She gave us great options and recommendations for our menu choices & some ideas where to take photos on the ship. We’d love to go again sometime!

Horrible make sure you’re not ordering through a third party company

Viator is a third party company who will take your money give you update after update for for reservation not to be valid because of greed they don’t update to actual company that a reservation is paid also will give you the run around about your refund . They have to investigate what happen once you ask for a refund .
