5.00We did a standard architecture tour a while ago, but we've never been out on the lake. Amazing activity, the whole friend group loved it. I'll do it again with my mom when she visits Chicago <3

5.00Amazing sunset cruise - I had pre booked and it was a great experience You go along the river then into the lock then onto Lake Michigan Sunset was stunning - much better to do thus cruise at sunset time as it adds to the vibe. Great commentary by the guide- very amusing and informative
