We were not able to enjoy the group outing on account of the confirmation email sent from Viator saying "general boarding" at 9:00 PM. The boat operator stated when we arrived at 9:00 that the boat had already left and we needed to be there a half hour earlier. I showed the polite staff member the email to confirm this and he stated I was correct in what the email said but that I would have to call the office during normal business, which is understandable. I did call Viator and was told First Lady, the boat operator would need to authorize a refund, they could not. After speaking with the boat operator, I was told they would have someone contact me, they have not yet. I do have to email to confirm all this, and it seems as if there is just a misunderstanding/ breakdown in communication between the two, I hope this gets resolved so I can receive my nearly $400.00 refunded. I will also note, my team was able to go the next night with another round of tickets purchased and did enjoy the tour.

The boat ride itself was really nice. The tour guide/story teller was okay. He had some funny moments and knew A LOT of information, but I feel the stories themselves could’ve been told better. Still liked the cruise and would recommend to give one a try!

This is The Best way to see The City of Chicago. The nighttime air was such a comfortable temperature and seeing the skyline lit was outstanding. The tour would have been long enough at 1 hour. 90 minutes was a bit much but still ok. We brought our service dog, a miniature poodle, he was comfortable and I was asked what type of service he performed for me. I would recommend this tour.
