Firstly, the service was amazing! I missed my scheduled cruise tour due to the traffic, but they were able to book me to the next available cruise tour! Secondly, the guide throughout the tour was a very outgoing person! She was communicating with the guest throughout the whole 75 minutes, making sure all of our needs were met. Make sure to remember to bring something warm in the windy city! Although it may be warm on land, the wind cuts right through the river, so it gets much chillier than on land.
