Top Chicago Cruises & Sailing

The people who did the tour were great, informative and friendly. The boat was cool as it was historical. It was comfortable with the bow open with seating and the back area enclosed and warm. Drinks and snacks were available and reasonably priced. Great time!

A fantastic tour from start to finish thanks to Staff. Crew and Superb guide. One of the best Viator tours we have tsken over the year and our first in Chicago and provided so much background information about the city 😀! Talented. Professional and knowledgeable Guide made the tour astounding as she provided history. Hearsay and Art and Architectural information. ENJOYED HER HUMOR and Candid perspective as a native and highly educated and experienced individual. THANK YOU to all the staff, who made us feel welcome and provided courteous and friendly customer service to all. Kudos !

My friend and I had a great time on this river cruise! We did the 6:45pm tour in October, so it did get dark, but the views were gorgeous and our tour guide Lucas was informative. It was a pretty packed boat, so make sure to get there early, in order to get in line and get a good spot. Still recommend this tour!

My friend and I went and it was seriously the best time. the food was really good and the service was amazing. The waiters kept the mimosas full at all times! there’s also a deck at the front of the boat to go and enjoy the views and take some pictures. Seriously a 10/10 experience! Will be coming back for sure.

I booked this experience for my husband's first weekend after retiring after 40 plus years. This first step in " the best is yet to be" did not disappoint. Despite the large crowd of participants everything flowed smoothly in getting on the boat. The guide was engaging and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Chicago history and architecture. The Skyline view at sunset was awesome. The hour and a half flew by.

It was a great experience l! Got to see the views of Chicago from Lake Michigan. Booked at 630pm it was perfect time for the sun setting! Next time id probably book 7pm to get sun set and night views of Chicago! The staff was so friendly. Overall a great experience.

We had a blast! Willis Tower was really cool. Field Museum is massive, it takes a very long time to get through. The aquarium was a hit with everyone. The architecture boat ride was amazing! I wish I could remember it tour guides name. He had such a wealth of knowledge about all of the current, past, and future buildings and he was hilarious to boot. If you do it at sunset you get to see some pretty incredible views of the city. We ran out of time and weren’t able to do all 5 attractions.

I can confirm that the instructions were awful. The pin that is in the reservation is for another parking lot. I recommend you follow the instructions that Viator gives you to start and then heed mine. The directions will take you to a parking lot on North Colombus Drive. If you stop there, you will miss your reservation. Make that right at the light on N Columbus Drive and go uphill. At the top of the hill, the NBC building should be on your right. If see a draw bridge, DO NOT CROSS IT. When you made it to the top of the hill, cross the street and make another right. You are standing at a parking lot again which is on your left now and facing ahead is the university of Chicago building. Right in front of the building there are some flags, that is where you will find stairs that will take you down to the Odyssey. Your destination will be immediately on your right. As for the cruise, the food was great. The portions were not small and the service was great. It was very informative, lively and a perfect time to spend the afternoon. Will return in the future for a dinner cruise.
