    It was so much fun and very informative! I love that the Seadog is a speedboat and takes passengers out onto Lake Michigan, as well as cruises down the river for the architecture tour. Much more fun than your average tour boat!!! Our tour guide H (I can’t recall his name!) was fantastic and kept us entertained the entire time.
