The cruise over all was great. The boat was clean, bathrooms were clean and your guide was knowledgeable. However when we were getting off of the boat there was a worker that was working on top of the boat. She repeatedly yelled at a group of tourists to get off the boat. This lady was so rude and kept telling them to get off the boat and quit taking pictures. However there was still a group downstairs there was several people still on the boat. Lady was racist towards this group of people. They were not even with us but several people noticed cause she made such a big scene. For this reason I would NOT recommend. I would give a zero if I could.Great way to see the various styles of buildings along the Chicago River. It was 34° and cloudy, yet very enjoyable. Our guide was informative and entertaining. One week later and our kids are still talking about what they saw and learned on the tour.

The perspective wA ideal for my Samsung S22 smartphone and the moderate speed and smooth ride of the boat allowed me ample opportunity to make the best use of it.

I can understand the draconian policy if the weather is nice, but travel to and from the site was dangerous. Horrible policy.Alyssa the tour guide was awesome!! She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Even though it was cold out, it was a really neat tour.
