5.00Lake Michigan offers vast views of the beautiful skyline of Chicago. The tour includes a thorough historical narrative about the city, Lake Michigan, architecture, as well as information about the 1893 World Fair in Chicago. I highly recommend the Lake tour!
Not what I expected

2.00My experience on this boat tour was quite limited. It did not live up to the description provided at the time of booking. The experience felt very solitary, with only a loudspeaker narrating the tour. I had expected live guides or storytellers to share the history, which was not the case. Honestly, I was disappointed. The positive aspect was the beautiful view of the city from the river …that part was truly enjoyable.
