    we waited in the boarding line for nearly an hour. My husband who is senior and myself. We would like to board first to stay in the shade as my husband has had skin cancer. The employee tried to push a group of forty people in front of us. We questioned and a tall, strong man from the company tried to intimidate us. Then we asked them to call the police. That's when they let us on board in a very rude tone of voice. They did not want to electronically record our shipment.

    The architecture river cruise was a great experience. The pick-up experience was smooth from the Michigan avenue pickup spot. Our tour guide from Shoreline Sightseeing was very warm even in a chilly windy Chicago night. He explained the art deco and other famous architectures in great details with examples along the tour. We never felt bored. It was a great experience and I'ld recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago.

    The tour guide was so knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and even played the harmonica at the end. I learned so much about the historical skyline and the skyscrapers were absolutely beautiful.

    The tour is really great! The guide (Spiro in my case) shared a lot of great information about the Chicago Area in general, and about the buildings in particular. I went during the day, and really liked the views, might check out the night time views too. It gets pretty chilly and windy on the river, be dress accordingly.The boat also has a small coffee/hot-chocolate place in the lower deck.

    This was the only formal tour we did in Chicago and it was a great choice. Spiro was our guide— we unfortunately went on our tour on a rainy day but he still made it fun. I learned a ton— I was worried it wouldn’t be accessible to someone who doesn’t already know much about architecture but this wasn’t the case at all. The customer service I received from Vanessa was also excellent.

    excellent survey of chicago architecture. tour guide was very knowledgeable. Boat ride down river gave a good perspective, but they need to find a way to keep people warm on the boat. It was freezing!

    Ashley (our cruise guide) was superb! Very knowledgeable, and funny. The vantage point as you ride on the boat is unlike other most other cities in the world. It was fun to learn so much about the city!
